      The element,  DiagnosticReport.specimen, is not defined in the US Core DiagnosticReport Profile for Laboratory Results Reporting.

      As we document in the General Guidance page

      Many of the profiles in this guide reference other FHIR resources that are also US Core Profiles. These references are defined in the formal profile definitions. For example, US Core CareTeam Profile references US Core Patient. For any other references to base FHIR resources1 or not formally defined in a US Core Profiles, the referenced resource SHOULD be a US Core Profile if a US Core Profile exists for the resource type.

    Description

      Should this be using US Core specimen instead of the base specimen profile?
