                        In some organ transplantation services and rarely in transfusion

               transplantation is decomposed in three services: explantation, transport, and implantation.
                The identity of the donor (recipient) is often irrelevant for the explantation (implantation)
               service.

               or device that who actually and principally carries out the action. Device should only
               be assigned as a performer in circumstances where the device is performing independent
               of human intervention.  Need not be the principal responsible actor.

               surgeon, a search and rescue dog locating survivors, an electronic laboratory analyzer
               or the laboratory discipline requested to perform a laboratory test. The performer may
               also be the patient in self-care, e.g. fingerstick blood sugar. The traditional order
               filler is a performer. This information should accompany every service event.

               playing entity of the Role that is the performer.  These designs should be revised in
               subsequent releases to make this the scooping entity for the role involved.
