The ClinicalDocument/authenticator element MAY be present. When present it represents
the clinical expert who performed the clinical validation of the report or of a subset
of its results, also called the validator.
This element SHALL be in accordance with the HL7 CDA R2 standard and further constrained
by this specification to require the presence of name, addr and telecom.
There MAY be more than one validator of the report. All the validators SHALL appear
in the report header as authenticator elements AND, in the case of multiple validators,
each individual validator SHALL be associated with the particular sections of the
report he or she validated. In this case, the validator of a section SHALL also appear
in the entry this section is derived
from.
This module is consistent with the CDA standard regarding participant and requires
in addition the name, addr and telecom for all participants.
