      For DiagnosticReport Laboratory Results Grouping the issued date should be optIonal.  The DiagnosticReport resource is used to group the individual Observation results, but all Observations may NOT have the same issued date and time.  This is frequently common for Microbiology and panels like CBCs.  Since we do not usually issue a 'report form' for general lab results/observations, there is not a single, same issued date.

      The effective date (specimen collection) is the more important date for Laboratory results.
