Existing Wording: Genetics Diagnostic Report

Proposed Wording: Genomics Report

Comment:

As proposed in my FHIR Genomics STU3 ballot comments, not all genomics tests, assays, etc. are done for the direct purpose of diagnostics, e.g., in clinical research and translational medicine or carrier testing and tissue typing. Furthermore, it could be beneficial if the CG DAM and this IG (or any other CG specs) will include more clarity on the differences between genetics and genomics, e.g., the former is typically focused on limited numbers of genes and heredity while the latter is more focused on the entire genome and its analysis for identifying any scale of genome-related phenomena that might be affecting the individual?s health and disorders.

Summary:

genomics vs. genetics and expanding diagnostic
