Easy enough. Just change clinical_transaction.id_doctor to
clinical_transaction.id_provider. Since we want our staff in
the identity database anyways there's no difference between
type(id_provider) == patient and type(id_provider) == doctor.
There may be problems, however, with things like review boards
of specialists and similar groups. This was raised recently on
the OpenEHR mailing list (GEHR). I don't see the big problem
yet as in those groups a few people always sign off the
transaction (consensus document or whatever).
