Integrated Care, Information Management and Information Technology in Canada: Have We Made Any Progress in the Past 12 Years?
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A dozen years ago, a seminal article was written by Leatt, Pink and Guerriere that boldly stated that Canada did not have integrated healthcare but, rather, a hodgepodge of disconnected parts! The article also stated categorically that Canadian regional health authorities could not provide comprehensive integrated care since they were not responsible for drugs dispensed from retail pharmacies or for medical care provided by physicians. Twelve years later, some progress toward integrated care has been made, though many would argue that it is both inadequate and disappointing - even if Canada's provincial health systems would like to integrate services across an ever-expanding continuum of care to better serve patients.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
