Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

There are no standard or universally accepted definitions of waiting times for a broad range of health services and procedures. The Western Canada Waiting List Project, like other similar projects, has recognized the need to establish such standard definitions to improve the accuracy and comparability of waiting time information across procedures and jurisdictions and of information provided to patients. This article proposes standard definitions of waiting times for surgery and magnetic resonance imaging.

Full frame distilled prediction

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.
