Resource Profile: Profile - Athena Specimen

Official URL: https://docs.mydata.athenahealth.com/fhir-r4/StructureDefinition-athena-specimen-profile.html Version: 23.0.0
Active as of 2024-09-05 Computable Name: AthenaSpecimen

athena specimen profile

This Specimen profile is part of the set of resource profiles supported by the API Server used with the athenaPractice and athenaFlow products. It further describes read and search capabilities of these products. Note: The create and update operations are NOT supported for this resource.

Overview

This profile sets minimum expectations for the Specimen resource to record, search, and fetch the substances being sampled or tested

Scope and Usage

This profile is used to define the content that will be returned by the API Server in response to requests to access Specimen resources. All elements listed in the differential profile view are Supported, which means that the API Server is capable of supplying these fields from the product database when they have been populated via the product or its APIs.

Source

The Specimen resource is derived from the LABRESULTSPECIMEN, SPECIMENSOURCETYPE tables in athenaPractice and athenaFlow. Specific detail can be found in the Mappings tab in the profile detail page.

Usage:

Supported Interactions

Interactions supported by this resource are listed below.

Search Parameters

Search parameters are executed as specified in the HL7 FHIR RESTful API implementation definition. To search for Specimen resources, an application shall perform an HTTP GET, specifying the query parameters associated with the resource. 

GET [base]/fhir/r4/Specimen?{search-parameters}{&_count=[max-results]&_format=[json|xml]&_summary=[true|text|data]}

Where:

Name Description
[base] Specifies the base URL of the FHIR Server, e.g., https://apsandbox.fhirapi.athenahealth.com/demoAPIServer
[_count] Specifies the maximum number of search results to return in a single query. Note: The count of results does not limit the number of additional resources returned via the _include parameter. No more than max-results Specimen resources which match the search criteria will be returned. The API Server has default and maximum limits for the value that can be specified for this parameter. These limits may vary depending upon the client application vendors participation level in the Athenahealth Partner program. Note: The API Server support the HL7 FHIR Paging capability.
[_format] Specifies the format of the output and may be xml or json. When present, the _format value overrides the value of the Accept header in the request.
[_summary] Filters the output to include only narrative elements (_summary=text), summary elements (_summary=true) or to omit the generated narrative (_summary=data). Note: If the generated html narrative for the resource is not going to be used by the call, using _summary=data provides improved API response times, especially when returning larger result sets.
_id (token) The ID of the resource
subject (reference) The identity of a patient from whom the specimen is collected.
patient (reference) The identity of a patient from whom the specimen is collected.
