## Resource Profile: AT APS Specimen

Official URL: https://fhir.hl7.at/elga/aps/r4/StructureDefinition/at-aps-specimen | Version: 0.2.0
Active as of 2026-02-09 | Computable Name: AtApsSpecimen

Das AT APS-Profil für die Specimen-Ressource berücksichtigt zum einen die österreichischen Vorgaben (z.B. Patient und zu verwendende Value-Sets) und stellt andererseits die Konformität gegenüber dem IPS-Profil sicher, indem die so genannte `imposeProfile`-Erweiterung verwendet wird.

Usages:

- Use this Profile: AT APS Bundle
- Refer to this Profile: AT APS DiagnosticReport, AT APS ImagingStudy, AT APS Observation and AT APS Specimen
- Examples for this Profile: Specimen/AtApsExampleSpecimen01
- CapabilityStatements using this Profile: AT APS CapabilityStatement (Server)

You can also check for usages in the FHIR IG Statistics
