      We agree with the direction of Grahame's explanation, but need to address further the core confusion that is raised when interpreting the term "report" behind "diagnostic".? We need to further clarify that this word does not imply a full document or even report, although it could represent the full content of such a document or report.? We suggest the editor works this in further.

      What is the distinction between a Diagnostic Report as a resource, vs. a Document bundle that is a diagnostic report? It seems to me that a "report" is a document, at least typically. 4.21.4 and 4.21.4.1 reinforce that idea – they even cite the possibility of presenting the report as a PDF. When should the implementer choose this resource vs. a document?

      Grahame's Comments
      well, if you made it a document, what has all the semantics of the report? I don't understand this confusion, but several people have asked the same question, so evidently something is creating it. Perhaps users have been trained badly in CDA space; to me, it's like asking why there's a difference between the message and the OBR, and which is appropriate to use?

      Disposition Comment
      Diagnositic Reports can be conveyed in documents, in REST, via messages, etc. If using a document, you'd still need to use this resource as a section within the document.
