Nexus EMR profile for Specimen -- the physical sample a lab result was produced from. Currently a pass-through type: the platform resolves ServiceRequest.specimen references and traverses into Specimen from DiagnosticReport, but reads none of its own fields. First pass; the heritage-EMR reconciliation is unresolved.

TypedFhir API / Python

The typed accessor surface Specimen exposes for Specimen — generated from this IG's compiled profile; each typed accessor has a validating raw-FHIR twin (xRaw) where marked. The three ports are parity-enforced.
