Abstract
23 Although this article could be applied to physicians across all specialties, our focus is on the engagement of Canadian primary care physicians in the use of Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems. The objective of our article is to suggest a methodology that can be followed in order to assist in the physician’s adoption of EMR. It would be presumptuous to state that we have all the answers when it comes to an issue as complex as the adoption of EMR by physicians; however, there are broad principles that can provide an organized and logical approach towards the implementation of these systems. Before we begin to describe the methodology, let’s have a quick look at where the Canadian healthcare system is when it comes to EMR. Despite Canada being essentially a single-payer system (in contrast to the much more complex U.S. healthcare system), there has been a relatively poor uptake and use of EMR systems in primary care, in contrast to European countries such as The Netherlands and Denmark. Ninety-five percent or more of all primary care physicians in Finland, the Netherlands, Sweden, Germany and the United Kingdom use computers in their practices. (The countries where the largest proportions of general practitioners are using electronic medical records are Sweden (90%); The Netherlands (88%); Denmark (62%); The United Kingdom (58%); Finland (56%); and Austria (55%).). The average for all 15 EU countries is 80%. The apathy toward electronic medical record systems in Canada has created a significant challenge. What can be done, and is it the physician or the system that is at fault? The government is starting to do its part as funding is being committed federally and provincially to assist the primary care physician in moving towards electronic medical record systems. This is being done with the hope that the studies, money and talk will enhance the uptake of the technology. However, all the work is overshadowed by a national need for data communication standards and the approval of electronic signatures before wider use of technology becomes more commonplace. Fortunately, the development of standards and legislative approval of electronic signatures is currently taking place at both a provincial and federal level. Some examples of the funding being committed at federal and provincial levels to support the uptake and increased use of EMR systems by physicians include the POSP project in Alberta and the Ontario Family Health Network. In addition, on a national scale, the Engaging Physicians in the Use of Electronic Medical Records

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
