I agree with Karsten. Diagnosis (in my terms) is a statement as the result of an Evaluation process about the Patient System. Measurement is the result of an Observation process about the Patient System using materials of the Patient System as source. Evaluation is the result of an Evaluation process that indicates that the result is ‘normal’, ‘elevated’, ‘low’, ‘abnormal’, ‘risk of’, etc.
