Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Healthcare spending in 2012 reached $2.8 trillion, with twice the per-capita healthcare spending of Canada, France, Germany, Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. With little evidence that greater spending is correlated with better outcomes, America has a healthcare value problem, meaning the outcomes achieved per dollar expended are unsatisfactory. Much of this waste is caused by a mismatch in the supply of and demand for resources. When resource supply exceeds resource demand, wasteful variable costs are incurred in the form of excess clinician staffing and unused beds and equipment. When demand exceeds supply, unsafe conditions can arise that increase mortality and the rate of medical errors. Predicting future demand, and more generally predicting healthcare clinical and operational outcomes, can ensure effective, efficient, and timely proactive management of resources and treatments. Machine learning algorithms can be used to effectively model data to make predictions about future outcomes.

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.
