Abstract
After a lengthy period of negotiations with the province's pharmacists, the Alberta government has implemented a reimbursement model for 7 pharmacy services. The new framework took effect July 1, 2012. On that date, the province also brought in reductions to generic pricing to 35% of the equivalent brand price. Both changes reflect “an important transition in the funding model for community pharmacy,” said the president of the Alberta Pharmacists' Association (RxA) in a letter to Alberta pharmacists. “Although we expect the transition to be difficult, RxA has used these changes as an opportunity to build a bright future for the profession that supports the role of the pharmacist in providing care to Albertans.” Pharmacists in Alberta have had an expanded scope of practice for most of the services since 2007. Under the new model, they are to be reimbursed for such services as renewing and adapting prescriptions, prescribing in an emergency, administration of drugs by injection, creation of comprehensive care plans and medication management. The province is also providing a remote access grant for pharmacies, committing to spend $15.9 million over the next 3 years to help support pharmacies in remote communities.

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.
