This profile defines a diagnostic report structure to represent a diagnostic imaging report issued by a diagnostic service provider in an Australian context. 

### Usage Notes

**Profile specific implementation guidance:**

* Results that are free text or report form are represented in `DiagnosticReport.presentedForm`.
* Results that are structured in FHIR resources are referenced in `DiagnosticReport.result`. Each referenced Observation resource represents an individual imaging examination and result value or component result values, or a nested grouping of Observations such as a multi-modality procedure which references other Observations in `Observation.hasMember`.
* When constructing a report for a nested grouping of Observations: 
* the individual imaging examinations are referenced by that grouping Observation in `Observation.hasMember` and not directly referenced in `DiagnosticReport.result`
* `DiagnosticReport.code` and the grouping Observation `Observation.code` should be the same concept if the report contains only the results of that group.
 
* See each Identifier profile page for guidance related to that identifier type.
* The radiology laboratory is sent as a reference to an Organization in `DiagnosticReport.performer`.
* Each radiologist is sent as a references to a PractitionerRole resource in `DiagnosticReport.performer`.
* This profile supports the sex, gender, and related concepts of: Sex Parameter for Clinical Use: 
* When exchanging concepts of sex or gender, refer to the guidance in [Sex and Gender](sexgender.md) and the [Gender Harmony Implementation Guide](http://hl7.org/xprod/ig/uv/gender-harmony/).
