| Control | 1..1 |
| Type | Resource ( Patient | Group | Location | Device ) |
| DiagnosticOrder.orderer | |
| Definition | The practitioner that holds legal responsibility for ordering the investigation. |

| DiagnosticOrder.specimen | |
| Definition | One or more specimens that the diagnostic investigation is about. |
| Control | 0..* |
| Type | Resource ( Specimen ) |
| Comments | Many investigation requests will create a need for specimens, but the request itself is not actually about the specimens. This is provided for when the diagnostic investigation is requested on already existing specimens. |
| DiagnosticOrder.status | |
| Definition | The status of the order. |
| Control | 0..1 |
| Binding | DiagnosticOrderStatus: The status of a diagnostic order (see http://hl7.org/fhir/diagnostic-order-status for values) |
| Type | code |
| Comments | Typically the system placing the order sets the status to requested. There after, the order is maintained by the receiver that updates the status as the request is handled. |
| DiagnosticOrder.priority | |
| Definition | The clinical priority associated with this order. |
| Control | 0..1 |
| Binding | DiagnosticOrderPriority: The clinical priority of a diagnostic order (see http://hl7.org/fhir/diagnostic-order-priority for values) |
| Type | code |
| Comments | The Order resource also has a priority. Generally, these should be the same, but they can be different, for instance in the case where the clinician indicates that the order is urgent, but the subsequent workflow process overrule this priority for some reason. The effective default value is "normal". |
| DiagnosticOrder.event | |
| Definition | A summary of the events of interest that have occurred as the request is processed. E.g. when the order was made, various processing steps (specimens received), when it was completed. |
| Control | 0..* |
| Comments | This is not the same as an audit trail - it is a view of the important things that happened in the past. Typically, there would only be one entry for any given status, and systems may not record all the status events. |
| DiagnosticOrder.event.status | |

| Definition | A code that identifies a particular diagnostic investigation, or panel of investigations, that have been requested. |
| Control | 1..1 |
| Binding | DiagnosticRequests: LOINC Order Codes ( See http://hl7.org/fhir/vs/diagnostic-requests ) |
