Is there a specific rationale for not including Specimen?

yes often specimen is part of LOINC and the element is permitted ... The intent for US Core was to focus on the minimum common requirement. so a low bar for conformance.

Got it, thanks

(the barrage of question is because I am comparing Argonaut / US Core with IPS - so checking what's missing and if it is really missing)
Eric Haas (Feb 06 2019 at 00:46):
great, I was going to look too... the approach is to see if the US-Core can be profiled on top of IPS. ( ie check if IPS constrains things that conflict with US Core. generally were US Core is "looser" than IPS)
for example if IPS name 1..1 and US Core 1..* or IPS required binding to A vs US Core required binding to B.
if IPS constrains ...say Specimen and US Core is silent then that should be fine...

They are pretty different animals
Michele Mottini (Feb 06 2019 at 00:52):
In general IPS seems more restrictive - so it could be profiled on top of US Core - but not totally
Eric Haas (Feb 06 2019 at 01:09):
Well a universal realm profile and then a US profile is the logical progression and not the other way around.
Eric Haas (Feb 06 2019 at 01:10):
just like the spec itself is universal and therefore permissive
Michele Mottini (Feb 06 2019 at 01:12):
Makes sense but does not appear to be the case
