RoleLinkType 
A code specifying the meaning and purpose of every RoleLink instance. Each of its values implies specific constraints to what
kinds of Role objects can be related and in which way.
This table controls values for structural elements of the HL7 Reference Information Model. Therefore, it is part of the Normative
Ballot for the RIM.

is backup for |
This relationship indicates the source Role is available to the target Role as a backup. An entity in a backup role will be
available as a substitute or replacement in the event that the entity assigned the role is unavailable. In medical roles where
it is critical that the function be performed and there is a possibility that the individual assigned may be ill or otherwise
indisposed, another individual is assigned to cover for the individual originally assigned the role. A backup may be required
to be identified, but unless the backup is actually used, he/she would not assume the assigned entity role.
