Topic: DiagnosticReport Prelimenary and Final: 2 Resources or 1?

Situation: a laboratory generates two DiagnosticReports for the same order. The first DiagnosticReport has the status Prelimenary and the second one has the status Final. How are these two DiagnosticReports suppsoed to be send to a FHIR Rest Service?
a) using 2 Create interactions, effectively creating two Resources in our store
b) using a Create interaction to create the Prelimenary version in our store and then send the Final version with an Update interaction, effectively updating the existing resource in our store.

That's really a policy decision. It would depend on if the Prelim report is needed for tracking. If not, send an update, if yes, then create a second one.
