Reduced Suffering and Increased Productivity - The Workers' Compensation Model
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Workers compensation is an employer-funded indemnity, health and death benefit insurance program that is not subject to the provisions of the Canada Health Act. The workers' compensation board (WCB) fulfills the social contract between employers and employees with respect to work-related injuries and workplace disease. Rising healthcare and indemnity costs, poor access to services and increasing evidence of poor outcomes are the primary reasons WCBs have assumed a greater role in managing the care of injured workers. Through activism in the delivery of health services, WCBs have introduced competition, pay for performance, quality measures and provider accountability into the system. The WCB approach to ensure timely, quality care to injured workers provides a view into the potential application of the principles articulated by the Supreme Court in Chaoulli vs. Quebec, should the public system fail its citizens. Managers of the public healthcare system can learn a useful lesson by understanding WCB methods.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
