This value set is used in the following places:

This FHIR value set includes codes from the following code systems: Include these codes as defined in http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/contractsignertypecodes Code Display AMENDER Amender A person who has corrected, edited, or amended pre-existing information. COAUTH Co-Author The entity that co-authored content. There can be multiple co-authors of content, which may take such forms as a contract, a healthcare record entry or document, a policy, or a consent directive. CONT Contact A person or an organization that provides or receives information regarding another entity. Examples; patient NOK and emergency contacts; guarantor contact; employer contact. EVTWIT Event Witness A person who attests to observing an occurrence. For example, the witness has observed a procedure and is attesting to this fact. PRIMAUTH Primary Author An entity that is the primary or sole author comprised of information content. In the healthcare context, there Actor participation Type codes, which can be only one primary author of health information content in a record entry or document. REVIEWER Reviewer A person, device, or algorithm that has used approved criteria for filtered data for inclusion into the patient record. Examples: (1) a medical records clerk who scans a document for inclusion in the medical record, enters header information, or catalogues and classifies the data, or a combination thereof; (2) a gateway that receives data from another computer system and interprets that data or changes its format, or both, before entering it into the patient record. SOURCE Source An automated data source that generates a signature along with content. Examples: (1) the signature for an image that is generated by a device for inclusion in the patient record; (2) the signature for an ECG derived by an ECG system for inclusion in the patient record; (3) the data from a biomedical monitoring device or system that is for inclusion in the patient record. TRANS Transcriber An entity entering the data into the originating system. This includes the transcriptionist for dictated text transcribed into electronic form. VALID Validator A person who validates a health information document for inclusion in the patient record. For example, a medical student or resident is credentialed to perform history or physical examinations and to write progress notes. The attending physician signs the history and physical examination to validate the entry for inclusion in the patient's medical record. VERF Verifier A person who asserts the correctness and appropriateness of an act or the recording of the act, and is accountable for the assertion that the act or the recording of the act complies with jurisdictional or organizational policy. For example, a physician is required to countersign a verbal order that has previously been recorded in the medical record by a registered nurse who has carried out the verbal order. Include these codes as defined in http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-RoleClass Code Display AFFL affiliate Player of the Affiliate role has a business/professional relationship with scoper. Player and scoper may be persons or organization. The Affiliate relationship does not imply membership in a group, nor does it exist for resource scheduling purposes. Example: A healthcare provider is affiliated with another provider as a business associate. AGNT agent An entity (player) that acts or is authorized to act on behalf of another entity (scoper). ASSIGNED assigned entity An agent role in which the agent is an Entity acting in the employ of an organization. The focus is on functional role on behalf of the organization, unlike the Employee role where the focus is on the 'Human Resources' relationship between the employee value FHIR agents, actors, and the organization. CLAIM claimant Description: A other role played by a party making a claim for coverage under a policy or program. A claimant must be either a person or organization, or a group of persons or organizations. A claimant is not a named insured or a program eligible. Discussion: With respect to liability insurance such as property and casualty insurance, a claimant must file a claim requesting indemnification for a loss that the claimant considers covered under the policy of a named insured. elements. The claims adjuster for the policy underwriter will review the claim to determine whether the loss meets the benefit coverage criteria under a policy, and base any indemnification or coverage payment on that review. If a third party is liable in whole or part for the loss, the underwriter may pursue third party liability recovery. A claimant may be involved in civil or criminal legal proceedings involving claims against a defendant party that is indemnified by an insurance policy or to protest the finding of a claims adjustor. With respect to life insurance, a beneficiary designated by a named insured becomes a claimant of the proceeds of coverage, as in the case of a life insurance policy. However, a claimant for coverage under life insurance is not necessarily a designated beneficiary. Note: A claimant is not a named insured. However, a named insured may make a claim under a policy, e.g., an insured driver may make a claim for an injury under his or her comprehensive automobile insurance policy. Similarly, a program eligible may make a claim under program, e.g., an unemployed worker may claim benefits under an unemployment insurance program, but parties playing these covered party role classes codes are not, for purposes of this vocabulary and in an effort to clearly distinguish role classes, considered claimants. In the case of a named insured making a claim, a role type code INSCLM (insured claimant) subtypes the class to indicate that either a named insured or an individual insured has filed a claim for a loss. In the case of a program eligible, a role type code INJWKR (injured worker) subtypes the class to indicate that the covered party in a workers compensation program is an injured worker, and as such, has filed a "claim" under the program for benefits. Likewise, a covered role type code UNEMP (unemployed worker) subtypes the program eligible class intended to indicate that express how the covered party agent participated in an unemployment insurance program has filed a claim for unemployment benefits. Example: A claimant under automobile policy that is not the named insured. COVPTY covered party A role class played by a person who receives benefit coverage under the terms of a particular insurance policy. The underwriter of that policy is the scoping entity. The covered party receives coverage because of some contractual or other relationship with the holder of that policy. Discussion:This reason for coverage is captured in 'Role.code' and a relationship link with type code of indirect authority should be included using the policy holder role as the source, and the covered party role as the target. Note that a particular policy may cover several individuals one of whom may be, but need not be, the policy holder. Thus the notion of covered party is a role that is distinct from that of the policy holder. DEPEN dependent Description: A role played by a person covered under a policy or program based on an association with a subscriber, which is recognized by the policy holder. Note: The party playing the role of a dependent is not a claimant in the sense conveyed by the RoleClassCoveredParty CLAIM (claimant). However, a dependent may make a claim under a policy, e.g., a dependent under a health insurance policy may become the claimant for coverage under that policy for wellness examines or if injured and there is no liable third party. In the case of a dependent making a claim, a role type code INSCLM (insured claimant) subtypes the class to indicate that the dependent has filed a claim for services covered under the health insurance policy. Example: The dependent has an association with the subscriber such as a financial dependency or personal relationship such as that of a spouse, or a natural or adopted child. The policy holder may be required by law activity. Sometimes refered to recognize certain associations or may have discretion about the associations. For example, a policy holder may dictate the criteria for the dependent status of adult children who are students, such as requiring full time enrollment, or may recognize domestic partners as dependents. Under certain circumstances, the dependent may be under the indirect authority of a responsible party acting as a surrogate for the subscriber, for example, if the subscriber is differently abled or deceased, a guardian ad Lidem or estate executor may be appointed agent functional-role relative to assume the subscriberaTMs legal standing in the relationship with the dependent. activity.

Investigation Subject
An entity that is the subject of an investigation.

This role is scoped by the party responsible for the investigation. NAMED named insured Description: A role played by a party to an insurance policy to which the insurer agrees to indemnify for losses, provides benefits for, or renders services. A named insured may be either a person, non-person living subject, or an organization, or a group of persons, non-person living subjects, or organizations. Discussion: The coded concept NAMED should not be used where a more specific child concept in this Specializable value set applies. In some cases, the named insured may not be the policy holder, e.g., where a policy holder purchases life insurance policy in which another party is the named insured and the policy holder is the beneficiary of the policy. Note: The party playing the role of a named insured is not a claimant in the sense conveyed by the RoleClassCoveredParty CLAIM (claimant). However, a named insured may make a claim under a policy, e.g., e.g., a party that is the named insured and policy holder under a comprehensive automobile insurance policy may become the claimant for coverage under that policy e.g., if injured in an automobile accident and there is no liable third party. In the case of a named insured making a claim, a role type code INSCLM (insured claimant) subtypes the class to indicate that a named insured has filed a claim for a loss. Example: The named insured under a comprehensive automobile, disability, or property and casualty policy that is the named insured and may or may not be the policy holder. NOK next of kin An individual designated for notification as the next of kin for a given entity. PAT patient A Role of a LivingSubject (player) as an actual or potential recipient of health care services from a healthcare provider organization (scoper). Usage Note: Communication about relationships between patients and specific healthcare practitioners (people) is not done via scoper. Instead this is generally done using the CareProvision act. This allows linkage between patient and a particular healthcare practitioner role and also allows description of the type of care involved in the relationship. PROV healthcare provider An Entity (player) that is authorized to provide health care services by some authorizing agency (scoper). NOT notary public notary public Include these includes codes as defined in http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-RoleCode Code Display CLASSIFIER classifier An individual authorized to assign an original classification to information, including compilations of unclassified information, based on a determination that the information requires protection against unauthorized disclosure. The individual marks the information with immutable, computable, and human readable security labels in accordance with applicable security labeling policies. The labeling policies provide instructions on whether and if so how the security labels may be later reclassified [i.e., upgraded, downgraded, used in derivative classification, or declassified] in a manner that preserves the overridden original classification binding and provenance. CONSENTER consenter An entity or an entity's delegatee who is the grantee in an agreement such as a consent for services, advanced directive, or a privacy consent directive in accordance with jurisdictional, organizational, or patient policy. CONSWIT consent witness An entity which has witnessed and attests to observing another entity being counseled about an agreement such as a consent for services, advanced directive, or a privacy consent directive. COPART co-participant An entity which participates in the generation of and attest to veracity of content, but is not an author or coauthor. For example a surgeon who is required by institutional, regulatory, or legal rules to sign an operative report, but who was not involved in the authorship of that report. DECLASSIFIER declassifier An individual which is authorized to declassify information based on a determination that the information no longer requires protection against unauthorized disclosure. The individual marks the information being declassified using computable and human readable security labels indicating that this is copy of previously classified information is unclassified in accordance with applicable security labeling policies. The labeling policies provide instructions on whether and if so how the security labels may be later reclassified [i.e., upgraded or used in derivative classification] in a manner that preserves the overridden original classification binding and provenance. DELEGATEE delegatee A party to whom some right or authority is granted by a delegator. DELEGATOR delegator following rules:

    A party that grants
  • Import all or some portion its right or authority to another party. DOWNGRDER downgrader An individual authorized to lower the classification level of labeled content and provide rationale for doing so as directed by a classification guide. DPOWATT durable power of attorney A relationship between two people in which one person authorizes another, usually a family member or relative, to act for him or her in a manner which is a legally binding upon the person giving such authority as if he or she personally were to do the acts that is often limited in the kinds of powers that can be assigned. Unlike ordinary powers of attorney, durable powers can survive for long periods of time, and again, unlike standard powers of attorney, durable powers can continue after incompetency. EXCEST executor of estate The role played by a person acting as the estate executor for a deceased subscriber or policyholder who was the responsible party GRANTEE grantee An entity which accepts certain rights or authority from a grantor. GRANTOR grantor An entity which agrees to confer certain rights or authority to a grantee. GT Guarantor An individual or organization that makes or gives a promise, assurance, pledge to pay or has paid the healthcare service provider.

INTPRTER interpreter An entity which converts spoken or written language into the language of key participants in an event such as when a provider is obtaining a patient's consent to treatment or permission to disclose information. POWATT power of attorney A relationship between two people in which one person authorizes another to act for him in a manner which is a legally binding upon the person giving such authority as if he or she personally were to do the acts. RESPRSN responsible party The role played by a party who has legal responsibility for another party. SPOWATT special power of attorney A relationship between two people in which one person authorizes another to act for him or her in a manner which is a legally binding upon the person giving such authority as if he or she personally were to do the acts codes that is often limited are contained in the kinds of powers that can be assigned.

Example: the report writer, the person writing the act definition, the guideline author, the placer of an order, the EKG cart (device) creating a report etc. Every Act should have an author. Authorship is regardless of mood always actual authorship. Examples of such policies might include: The author and anyone they explicitly delegate may update the report; All administrators within the same clinic may cancel and reschedule appointments created by other administrators within that clinic; A party that is neither an author nor a party who is extended authorship maintenance rights by policy, may only amend, reverse, override, replace, or follow up in other ways on this Act, whereby the Act remains intact and is linked to another Act authored by that other party.

IRCP information recipient A party, who may or should receive or who has recieved the Act or subsequent or derivative information of that Act. Information recipient is inert, i.e., independent of mood." Rationale: this is a generalization of a too diverse family that the definition can't be any more specific, and the concept is abstract so one of the specializations should be used. LA legal authenticator A verifier who legally authenticates the accuracy of an act. An example would be a staff physician who sees a patient and dictates a note, then later signs it.

Guardian of a ward INVSBJ http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/v3-RoleClass http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/provenance-participant-type Investigation Subject    custodian icon NAMED named insured Custodian Description: A role played by a party to an insurance policy to which the insurer agrees to indemnify for losses, provides benefits for, or renders services. A named insured may be either a person, non-person living subject, or an organization, or a group of persons, non-person living subjects, or organizations. Discussion: The coded concept NAMED should not be used where a more specific child concept in this Specializable value set applies. In some cases, the named insured may not be the policy holder, e.g., where a policy holder purchases life insurance policy in which another party is the named insured and the policy holder is the beneficiary of the policy. Note: The party playing the role of a named insured is not a claimant in the sense conveyed by the RoleClassCoveredParty CLAIM (claimant). However, a named insured may make a claim under a policy, e.g., e.g., a party that is the named insured and policy holder under a comprehensive automobile insurance policy may become the claimant for coverage under that policy e.g., if injured in an automobile accident and there is no liable third party. In the case of a named insured making a claim, a role type code INSCLM (insured claimant) subtypes the class to indicate that a named insured has filed a claim for a loss. Example: The named insured under a comprehensive automobile, disability, or property and casualty policy entity that is the named insured and may or may not be the policy holder.
