"^^ . "en"^^ . "Author: Ravi Shankar, Stanford Medical Informatics"^^ . . "SpecimenProcessingPlan lists the specimen workflows associated with \n processing specimens that are collected as part of specfic planned \n protocol activities. Typically there will be one specimen workflow \n associated with a planned activity. Transitions between specimen workflows \n are facilitated using router nodes in the workflow diagrams. The plan also \n enumerates the specimen containers used in all the specimen workflows, and \n the deviation codes used when recording any execution-time deviations from \n the specimen workflow specifications.

\n split_constraint\n \n specifies the transition restriction when there are more than one \n outgoing transitions from an event. It takes the values AND or XOR. \n If the value is AND, then all the transitions are evaluated for \n possible transition, and all possible (transition condition \n evaluates to true) transitions are taken. If the value is XOR, then \n the outgoing transitions are evaluated in order, and the first \n transition that is possible is taken. The AND constraint allows \n concurrent transitions from the from event.\n
\n join_constraint\n \n specifies the transition restriction when there are more than one \n incoming transitions to an event. It takes the values AND or XOR. If \n the value is AND, then all the transitions are evaluated for \n possible transition, and the transition is taken only when all \n transitions are possible. If the value is XOR, then the outgoing \n transitions are evaluated for possible transition, and the \n transition is taken when one of the transitions is possible. The AND \n constraint allows sychronizing multiple paths at a to \n event.\n
