Theories, Models and Frameworks for Diagnosing Technology-Induced Error
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Information technology has the potential to greatly streamline healthcare and reduce the chance of human error. However, there is a growing literature indicating that if systems are not designed adequately they may actually increase the possibility of error in the complex interaction between clinician and machine in healthcare (i.e. they may lead to technology-induced errors). In other domains the study of error has been guided by a variety of theories, models and frameworks for understanding human error. In this paper we argue for the need to consider and extend this work to the study of technology-induced error in healthcare. Insights from the software engineering, human factors and organizational behaviour literature will be described, including a set of models and frameworks that we have been using to guide our work in detecting and preventing technology-induced error in healthcare.

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.
