- Important: This guidance is under active development by NHS England and content may be added or updated on a regular basis.
- This Implementation Guide is currently in Draft and SHOULD NOT be used for development or active implementation without express direction from the NHS England Genomics Unit.
Removed - Sample Preparation
Purpose
This MDS category has been removed in MDSv1.05. This page has been maintained for information and backward compatibility only and it is not expected that now suppliers onboarding to the GOMS API would need to support these fields
Where cell separation is to be applied to a primary sample
Notes
Mapped to Specimen. It is expected processing performed on a specimen will be added to the original Specimen resource unless daughter samples are taken (splitting of the sample prior to processing), in which case a new Specimen resource SHOULD be created
Mapping
| Source Data item | Target FHIR Element | HL7v2.5.1 Mapping | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sample Preparation - Parent primary sample id | Specimen.parent | SPM-3 | Id of primary sample this derived from |
| Sample Preparation - Id (many) | Specimen.identifier.value | SPM-2 | Id of sample provided linked to the previously stated assigning authority. Occurs multiple times. |
| Sample Preparation - Id assigning authority ODS code (many) | Specimen.identifier.assigner | SPM-2.1.2 | Authority who assigned the sample id (e.g. histopathology, SHIMDS, etc). Occurs multiple times. |
| Sample Preparation - Sample storage details | Not in scope for FHIR R4, could use Specimen.note or record this information against Task.input (TBC, if required a request to backport Specimen.container.location will be made to support capture of this information) | SAC-15 | Where a sample preparation is in storage or where it needs to be stored. |
| Sample Preparation - Volume | Specimen.collection.quantity | SPM-12 | Volume of provided sample. |
| Sample Preparation - Performed date | Specimen.processing.timeDateTime | N/A not in scope for HL7v2, may need to replace SPM-17 | Date at which the sample preparation was completed. |
| Sample Preparation - Received date | Specimen.receivedTime | SPM-18 | Date at which a specimen was received at a laboratory. |
| Sample Preparation - Sample preparation | Specimen.processing.procedure | N/A not in scope for HL7v2, may need to be captured within SPM-6 | Cell separation applied to a primary sample. |
