The bottom line

Only about 15% of Collect or scan the patient's specimen is information work today — the rest is physical, and moves slowly. The exposure is concentrated in the back office: the books, the paperwork, the scheduling, the marketing.

Why: With no child occupations seeded, the digital scalar is derived directly from the process name and its Ambulatory Health Care Services lens. 'Collect or scan the patient's specimen' represents fundamentally physical healthcare work requiring direct human interaction with patients, biological materials, and medical instruments, placing it solidly in the physical band.
