Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

An innovative approach to managing waiting lists and access to elective care, and one that is more fair and consistent with the 'guarantee of access' as stipulated in the Canada Health Act, has been developed by a partnership of medical associations, provincial ministries of health, regional health authorities and research centres. Operating as the Western Canada Waiting List Project, this group has developed beta versions of waiting list prioritization tools in five problematic clinical areas: hip and knee joint replacement; cataract removal surgery; general surgery; children's mental health services; and MRI scanning.

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.

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.
