Diagnostic Report

Metadata is data that applies to the patient's entire clinical pathway and so it extends beyond diagnostic tests. Test detail tends to be common across all diagnostic tests in a patient's pathway, not just genomics.

Results Mapping

Results section is specific to genomics and is focused on the requirements of general clinicians, not genomic specialists. For this reason this section will tend to be an extract of the wider genomics reporting specifications.
