      Once the SpecimenDefinition resource is available, we will modify the appropriate resources in the Clinical Reasoning module to allow specimens to be described as part of actions in plans and activities.

      The tracker to define the SpecimenDefinition resource is here:

      ActivityDefinition fails to describe the specimen requirements when the activity is a laboratory test or panel. This is is one of the 2 gaps to be filled in order to support properly the definition of lab IVD testing activities.
      This is symetric to ActivityDefinition.product used for drug administration activities.

      Suggest to:

      • add element specimenRequirement [0..*] Reference(SpecimenDefinition)
      • create new resource SpecimenDefinition, which is like Specimen without status and without subject.
