Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

There is no denying the existence of rationing in healthcare. It is an example par excellence of a "wicked issue." Faced with the reality of rationing, the issues are: who should ration, and how rule-bound and explicit should it be? Clinicians are ambivalent on these matters. Many would prefer governments and politicians to make these decisions openly in publicly funded healthcare systems, since they decide how much to spend on healthcare. Others believe it to be the responsibility of clinicians to decide how finite resources should best be used in individual cases.

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.

Not 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.
