      Patient Care considered a new Clinical Notes Resource but struggled with the overlap on existing resources.

      The discussion on the clinical-notes-guidance.html page is intended to describe the need for DiagnosticReport vs DocumentReference. There are several formats of notes 'PDF', 'XHTML', 'CDA' and using a resource that indexes clinical note content helps implementers (clients) find notes without querying lots of resources. Consider a lab report that has both narrative and discrete content vs a scanned report. Should that be a 'Clinical Note' or a DiagnosticReport?
