      Existing Wording: AdverseEvent.suspectedEntity

      Proposed Wording: Rename element name to:

      associatedEntity

      Change short description to:

      "The agent causing or suspected to cause the adverse event"

      Change definition to:

      "Describe the agent causing or suspected to cause the adverse event"

      Comment:

      The suspectedEntity may be assessed to have casulty of "certain", in that case, it is no longer "suspected" - hence the name of this element is semantically inappropriate for meeting all scenarios

      The element name and definition/description need to be changed
