This timestamp describes when a *set* of results gets reported
however a request can have multiple tests within it, some of which
are reported earlier (as partial) and some of which get reported only
later, in a transmission that can (and in BC CA does) re-include the
already-downloaded partial results.
Each specific result (observation) has a datetime stamp of when it
was made available by the lab.
The ability to distinguish possibly 3 or 4 copies of the same result
will be helped if we would keep, in test_result, in a column what
would be
test_result.result_reported_when (which does not yet exist)
which can be supplied by
OBX 014 Date-Time of Observation (Test resulted by laboratory
timestamp)
