organization or person participating in care
Figure 29 — care actor (UML Representation)
The involvement of the care actor can either be direct (for example, the actual provision of care) or indirect (for example, at organizational level).
According to this definition, people or organizations responsible for the funding, payment, or reimbursement of care provision are care actors, as are people and organizations responsible for care delivery. If a person or organization only funds care and does not deliver care, it is a care actor but not a care provider.
