FHIR Message equivalent of the HL7 v2.5.1 ORU^R01^ORU_R01 message, sent by the Order
Filler (LIMS) to the Order Result Tracker (EPR, GP system, shared care record) for
Order Results Management [LAB-3], and by a Subcontractor to the Requester
for Sub-order Results Delivery [LAB-36].
Each OBR becomes a Laboratory Report and each OBX a Laboratory Result. See Mapping HL7 v2 and FHIR.
The same content can be sent as a FHIR Document - the form used by the NHS England Pathology Laboratory Reporting API.
The HL7 v2 acknowledgement ACK^R01 is a FHIR response message (MessageHeader.response).
