Consider the situation of a procedure, during which an anesthesiologist uses a ventilator on a patient. Two associations would be recorded: one of the ventilator associated to a subject patient with a treatment relationship; in the other, the ventilator associated to the subject anesthesiologist with an operator relationship. In the latter relationship, the patient would be recorded as the focus to indicate that the anesthesiologist was using the device for that patient.
