    ASSIGNEDassigned entityAn 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 and the organization.
    COMPARcommissioning partyAn Entity that is authorized to issue or instantiate permissions, privileges, credentials or other formal/legal authorizations.
    SGNOFFsigning authority or officerThe role of a person (player) who is the officer or signature authority for of a scoping entity, usually an organization (scoper).

    GUARDguardianGuardian of a ward
    EMPemployeeA relationship between a person or organization and a person or organization formed for the purpose of exchanging work for compensation. The purpose of the role is to identify the type of relationship the employee has to the employer, rather than the nature of the work actually performed. (Contrast with AssignedEntity.)
    MILmilitary personA role played by a member of a military service. Scoper is the military service (e.g. Army, Navy, Air Force, etc.) or, more specifically, the unit (e.g. Company C, 3rd Battalion, 4th Division, etc.)
    INVSBJInvestigation SubjectAn entity that is the subject of an investigation. This role is scoped by the party responsible for the investigation.
    CASESBJ
    RESBJresearch subject**Definition:**Specifies the administrative functionality within a formal experimental design for which the ResearchSubject role was established.

    **Examples:** Screening - role is used for pre-enrollment evaluation portion of the design; enrolled - role is used for subjects admitted to the experimental portion of the design.
    CITcitizenCitizen of apolitical entity
    COVPTYcovered partyA 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.
    CRINVclinical research investigatorA role played by a provider, always a person, who has agency authority from a Clinical Research Sponsor to direct the conduct of a clinical research trial or study on behalf of the sponsor.
    CRSPNSRclinical research sponsorA role played by an entity, usually an organization, that is the sponsor of a clinical research trial or study. The sponsor commissions the study, bears the expenses, is responsible for satisfying all legal requirements concerning subject safety and privacy, and is generally responsible for collection, storage and analysis of the data generated during the trial. No scoper is necessary, as a clinical research sponsor undertakes the role on its own authority and declaration. Clinical research sponsors are usually educational or other research organizations, government agencies or biopharmaceutical companies.
    GUARguarantorA person or organization (player) that serves as a financial guarantor for another person or organization (scoper).
    PATpatientA 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.
    PAYEEpayeeThe role of an organization or individual designated to receive payment for a claim against a particular coverage. The scoping entity is the organization that is the submitter of the invoice in question.
    PAYORinvoice payorThe role of an organization that undertakes to accept claims invoices, assess the coverage or payments due for those invoices and pay to the designated payees for those invoices. This role may be either the underwriter or a third-party organization authorized by the underwriter. The scoping entity is the organization that underwrites the claimed coverage.
    POLHOLDpolicy holderA role played by a person or organization that holds an insurance policy. The underwriter of that policy is the scoping entity.

    *Discussion:*The identifier of the policy is captured in 'Role.id' when the Role is a policy holder.

    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.
    QUALqualified entityAn entity (player) that has been recognized as having certain training/experience or other characteristics that would make said entity an appropriate performer for a certain activity. The scoper is an organization that educates or qualifies entities.
    SPNSRcoverage sponsorA role played by an entity, usually an organization that is the sponsor of an insurance plan or a health program. A sponsor is the party that is ultimately accountable for the coverage by employment contract or by law. A sponsor can be an employer, union, government agency, or association. Fully insured sponsors establish the terms of the plan and contract with health insurance plans to assume the risk and to administer the plan. Self-insured sponsors delegate coverage administration, but not risk, to third-party administrators. Program sponsors designate services to be covered in accordance with statute. Program sponsors may administer the coverage themselves, delegate coverage administration, but not risk to third-party administrators, or contract with health insurance plans to assume the risk and administrator a program. Sponsors qualify individuals who may become

    1. a policy holder of the plan;
    2. where the sponsor is the policy holder, who may become a subscriber or a dependent to a policy under the plan; or
    3. where the sponsor is a government agency, who may become program eligibles under a program.

    The sponsor role may be further qualified by the SponsorRole.code. Entities playing the sponsor role may also play the role of a Coverage Administrator.

    *Example:* An employer, union, government agency, or association.
    STDstudentA role played by an individual who is a student of a school, which is the scoping entity.
    UNDWRTunderwriterA role played by a person or an organization. It is the party that

    1. accepts fiscal responsibility for insurance plans and the policies created under those plans;
    2. administers and accepts fiscal responsibility for a program that provides coverage for services to eligible individuals; and/or
    3. has the responsibility to assess the merits of each risk and decide a suitable premium for accepting all or part of the risk. If played by an organization, this role may be further specified by an appropriate RoleCode.

    *Example:*

    1. A health insurer;
    2. Medicaid Program;
    3. Lloyd's of London
    CAREGIVERcaregiverA person responsible for the primary care of a patient at home.
    PRSpersonal relationshipLinks two entities with classCode PSN (person) in a personal relationship. The character of the relationship must be defined by a PersonalRelationshipRoleType code. The player and scoper are determined by PersonalRelationshipRoleType code as well.
    DSTdistributed materialA material (player) distributed by a distributor (scoper) who functions between a manufacturer and a buyer or retailer.
    RETretailed materialMaterial (player) sold by a retailer (scoper), who also give advice to prospective buyers.
    MANUmanufactured productScoped by the manufacturer
    THERtherapeutic agentA manufactured material (player) that is used for its therapeutic properties. The manufacturer is the scoper.
    SDLOCservice delivery locationA role played by a place at which services may be provided.
    DSDLOCdedicated service delivery locationA role of a place (player) that is intended to house the provision of services. Scoper is the Entity (typically Organization) that provides these services. This is not synonymous with "ownership."
    ISDLOCincidental service delivery locationA role played by a place at which health care services may be provided without prior designation or authorization.

    BIRTHPLbirthplaceRelates a place (playing Entity) as the location where a living subject (scoping Entity) was born.
    EXPRexposed entityA role played by an entity that has been exposed to a person or animal suffering a contagious disease, or with a location from which a toxin has been distributed. The player of the role is normally a person or animal, but it is possible that other entity types could become exposed. The role is scoped by the source of the exposure, and it is quite possible for a person playing the role of exposed party to also become the scoper a role played by another person. That is to say, once a person has become infected, it is possible, perhaps likely, for that person to infect others.

    Management of exposures and tracking exposed parties is a key function within public health, and within most public health contexts - exposed parties are known as "contacts."
