Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

As the healthcare system has modernized, it has also become rich with complexity. This complexity continues to foster the creation of wicked problems that at first consideration appear inherently insoluble. To compound matters, policy-makers and decision-makers continue to view the healthcare system in a reductionistic, linear manner. This paper advocates that all stakeholders within the system (policy-makers, providers, and patients) become comfortable with complexity as a determinant of health, and offers tools for productively working with complexity, instead of trying to solve it. These tools include complexity heuristics, adjusting to an emergent decision-making paradigm, and easing the anxiety associated with ambiguity and paradox by becoming antifragile. By adopting these methods, the health determinant of complexity within the Canadian healthcare system can be effectively handled. This will lead to sustainable and scalable interventions, strong patient-partners in care, and efficient use of monetary and human resources.

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.
