Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Community paramedicine is an evolving field in which paramedics take on extended roles in beyond emergency response. These responsibilities include monitoring of medication compliance, vaccination administration, public health, prevention and wellness, chronic disease monitoring, and various minor treatments in the patient’s own home. Pilot programs in the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States, and Australia have shown up to 50% decreases in emergency department admissions in targeted populations, such as the elderly and frail. Community paramedicine could represent an adjunct to traditional primary care to alleviate the burden of care on family physicians and emergency departments in BC’s rural communities.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
