DiagnosticReport
DiagnosticReport is used for reports such as lab results, imaging studies, and pathology reports. It contains the final report and references to supporting observations.
API convention: patient and encounter references are flat (
subjectId,encounterId). Performer and result references use the standard FHIR reference shape. All ids are UUIDs.
