Is there a resource or field that allows to mark or know the diagnostic reports checked by practitioners?

Your two best candidates would be Provenance (record of it having been done) and Task (request for it to be done, with status indicating completion once finished). You can also use the meta.tag mechanism having tags for things like "Dr. Smith needs to see this" or "Dr. Smith has reviewed this".

Thanks. Can you give some link to the meta.tag mechanism ? I think a Provenance or a Task will not work.

@Brian Postlethwaite isn't this what VerificationResult is for?

Tags are arbitrary URIs that indicate something about the resource that can change without (typically) breaking the resource signature. They're typically used for workflow management type functions.

That does sound more like verificationresult than provenance to me too.

the distinction between VerificationResult and Provenance is still unclear. I have interest in looking closely at making VerificationResult as extensions on Provenance. But that work has not gotten attention.

Why do you think this is not a role of Task or Provenance or VerificationResult?

There are security tags for Integrity assertions. http://build.fhir.org/v3/SecurityIntegrityObservationValue/vs.html
These are similarly situated to the meta tags that Lloyd mentioned; but are a defined valueSet

@Lloyd McKenzie thanks for the link. @John Moehrke I think that Task or Provenance or VerificationResult are more general resources. A DiagnosticReport review or checking must be a DiagnosticReport status or property. Or there should be a resource closer to DiagnosticReport more related with the object characteristics instead of object actions and proccess.

Many things might be looked at/reviewed - orders, results, plans, etc. The mechanism for handling them should generally be consistent

the status in DR imply checking or posting or verification

or whatever you wanna call it

if you want more information on who what and where then use Provenance, if you want even more then consider VerficiationResult although that is still relatively new
