... not take heed of that with regards to display in GNUmed
(unless the user employs panels to recreate the lab
grouping, which an importer might automatically do if the
information is avaliable in the incoming data file, which
holds true in many cases for HL7).

The lab side grouping is available within the original
reports, at any rate, which a responsible importer may
consider to import as documents.

Different labs will group differently which renders this
idea impossible.
