    Description

      Lab results (Observations) are generated from analysis of specimens.  Result values, reference ranges, and interpretation of results is specimen dependent.  

      There is no "lab result" listed.  Rather a code is listed which would be mapped to the actual lab result obtained from the analysis of a specimen (which is also not indicated).  Code system names/terms should NOT be utilized to represent lab results or orders as they are dynamic and not static.

      These critical clinical data/info appears to be missing from the US Core Lab examples.  

      Furthermore, these examples lack many CLIA requirements such as specimen info.  Kindly bring all US Core lab examples into compliance so they can be implemented in compliant manner.
