      The specifications refer in several places to the end of a laboratory test result. The end of a result is not clearly defined. A lab test represents an instant in time, the time when the specimen was drawn.

      We believe this is the only use of �end of "Occurrence A of Laboratory Test, Result� in any measure specification. Please refer to how other measures handle this kind of criterion, and make this consistent with the others.
