Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A modern health system which provides high quality care has trickle-down effect on the quality of life of the individualcitizens and the overall economic development of the country. One method which is applicable to the measurement ofquality of health care is consumers’ ratings of the services provided. This paper investigated the overall level ofsatisfaction associated with the choice of a health care provider. Parents whose children (aged-under five) fell sick fourweeks prior to the survey and had sought intervention within 2 days were asked their overall level of satisfaction withhealth care providers. Using the ordered logit model the study confirms the notion in Ghana and elsewhere that privatehealth care is associated with higher levels of satisfaction or quality. Control variables that were found to be statisticallysignificant were gender of the child, maternal age and education, distance and waiting time among other. To the best ofour knowledge, no study has examined the effect of provider choice on overall satisfaction of health care in Ghana.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
