Laboratory Study Types Notes: Note 1:26436-6 (Laboratory studies) enables issuing a report putting together observations from multiple specialties (disciplines) in the same text block, allowing delivery of a global interpretation comment at the end of the text block that will be rendered at the end of the report. Note 2:Mycology and parasitology, as well as bacteriology, are part of the 18725-2 (Microbiology studies (set)) studies. Note 3:Virology MAY be included in 18725-2 (MICROBIOLOGY STUDIES) or 18727-8 (SEROLOGY STUDIES) or split between both study types, depending upon the Content Creator Actor’s choice.

 Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page: 

| | |
| :--- | :--- |
| Level | A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. In this scheme, some codes are under other codes, and imply that the code they are under also applies |
| System | The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere) |
| Code | The code (used as the code in the resource instance) |
| Display | The display (used in the*display*element of a[Coding](http://hl7.org/fhir/R4/datatypes.html#Coding)). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application |
| Definition | An explanation of the meaning of the concept |
| Comments | Additional notes about how to use the code |
