Active as of 2025-11-25 | Computable Name: ParticipationMode

A set of codes specifying the modality by which the Entity playing the Role is participating in the Act.

Examples: Physically present, over the telephone, written communication.

Rationale: Particularly for author (originator) participants this is used to specify whether the information represented by the act was initially provided verbally, (hand-)written, or electronically.

Open Issue: There needs to be a reexamination of the hierarchies as there seems to be some muddling between ELECTRONIC and other concepts that involve electronic communication that are in other hierarchies.

This Code system is referenced in the content logical definition of the following value sets:
