Hi everyone,
we had some trouble understanding why a contained Resource Patient is allowed in a DiagnosticReport? The DiagnosticReport depend on the Patient, right? If the Patient is not existent, the DiagnosticReport can't exist (in our opinion).

It's possible to pass around a diagnostic report where there's no link to a patient record, but this should be very rare. One possible example would be receipt of external data for a patient that doesn't have a record in your system and wouldn't be appropriate to exist in your system. Another might be reporting of anonymized results where you want to send some demographic information but not a patient identity.

DiagnosticReport.subject is mandatory. This can be a "normal" reference or a contained resource.

So subject is set to 1..1 and it has to be a contained patient resource
