The MedMorph team requests…

The MedMorph team requests that Medication Administered Performer is published separately rather than being placed in Care Team Members as recommended by ONC. The ability to tie a performer to a medication administration needs to be explicitly identified in USCDI. We propose keeping Medication Administered Performer as a separate data element OR establishing a reference within the Medications class that connects to the Care Team Members class.
