This profile constrains the Observation resource for the purpose of laboratory test reports in Switzerland.

This profile constrains the Observation resource to represent a laboratory in vitro diagnostic test or panel/study. In case of a panel/study, the results of the panel appear as sub-observations. In this case this top-level Observation acts as a grouper of all the observations belonging to the panel or study. The top-level observation may carry a conclusion in the note element and or a global interpretation by the producer of the study, in the interpretation element.
