Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Several studies have addressed the need for pharmaceutical companies to improve medication labelling. Criticisms have generally related to small font size, poorly designed and visually cluttered labels, and inadequate warnings. In addition, similarities between medication names (i.e., lookand sound-alike names) and labels (i.e., look-alike packaging), as well as unsafe storage practices, have been cited as contributing to medication incidents and errors. Coupled with research in human factors, this information can prompt and guide health care organizations to improve labelling in medication storage areas. Building on our previous article, which outlined an initiative within the Calgary Health Region to simplify the storage of medications, the current article highlights specific improvements in medication labelling that were made in the inpatient care and pharmacy areas in an effort to enhance safety and improve efficiency.

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.
