description | This profile sets minimum expectations for an Observation resource to record, search, and fetch diagnostic results associated with a patient. It is based on the [AU Base Diagnostic Result](https://hl7.org.au/fhir/5.0.0/StructureDefinition-au-diagnosticresult.html) profile and identifies the *additional* mandatory core elements, extensions, vocabularies and value sets that **SHALL** be present in the Observation when conforming to this profile.
