A diagnostic report is the set of information that is typically provided by a diagnostic service when investigations are complete. The information includes a mix of atomic results, text reports, images, and codes. Reference Table: The diagnostic_report_references table contains normalized references from the diagnostic report to other entities. It supports the following reference properties:
  • subject (required): links to the patient who is the subject of the diagnostic report
  • encounter: links to the encounter where the diagnostic report was generated
  • performer: links to practitioners who performed the diagnostic procedure
  • result: links to observations or other diagnostic results referenced in the report
For detailed information about reference table structure and indexing, see the Reference Tables documentation. Presented Forms: For information about the diagnostic_report_presented_forms table that contains the actual content of diagnostic reports (text, images, and other media), see the Diagnostic Report Presented Forms documentation.
