Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Significant early positive cultural changes have been made in the Ontario healthcare system to address the province's Wait Time Strategy. Improving efficiency in parallel with the introduction of accountability agreements will provide early successes. However, there are fundamental system weaknesses that must be addressed in the long term to sustain the program. These include a wait list information system that addresses all patients waiting for care, additional healthcare providers with wider scopes of practice, improving hospital capacity, accountability agreements with agreed-upon performance indicators, new payment systems for physicians and a fundamental change in referral and care processes. Innovative approaches such as gain-sharing should be considered. Though resources are scarce, there is a need for significant early additional investments to achieve long-term success.

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.
