description: Laboratory results are grouped and summarized using the DiagnosticReport resource which typically reference Observation resource(s).  Each Observation resource represents an individual laboratory test and result value or component result values, or a nested panel (such as a microbial susceptibility panel) which references other observations.  They can also be presented in report form or as free text.  This profile sets minimum expectations for the DiagnosticReport resource to record, search, and fetch laboratory results associated with a patient to promote interoperability and adoption through common implementation.  It identifies which core elements, extensions, vocabularies, and value sets **SHALL** be present in the resource and constrains the way the elements are used when using this profile. It provides the floor for standards development for specific use cases.
