Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Radiofrequency identification (RFID) technology has been used in other emergency department settings but has not been assessed in a pediatric emergency department setting for its reliability in its application as a patient tracking system. The goal of this study was to assess the accuracy, precision, and reliability of the technology in a simulated pediatric emergency department setting to collect patient tracking information. METHODS: A simulated pediatric emergency department clinical assessment room was developed to serve as a test room to collect patient tracking information. This information included the interaction times between simulated patients, parents, physicians, and nurses. Direct observation of these interaction times were recorded by an observer. A patient tracking system based on active RFID technology recorded interaction times between models wearing RFID devices and recorded this information in a computerized data log. Comparison between the direct observation record and the data log was used to determine accuracy, precision, and reliability. RESULTS: A total of 152 directly observed interactions were recorded. Data extraction from the data log yielded 152 sensor-recorded interactions, resulting in a reliability of 1.0. Data pair comparison on all events resulted in a mean difference of 2.88 seconds. CONCLUSIONS: Active RFID-based patient tracking systems are a precise and reliable means of recording patient interaction events in the pediatric emergency department.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
