Understanding self-organized regularities in healthcare services based on autonomy oriented modeling
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Author(s) 2015. This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract Self-organized regularities in terms of patient arrivals and wait times have been discovered in real-world healthcare services. What remains to be a challenge is how to characterize those regularities by taking into account the underlying patients' or hospitals' behaviors with respect to various impact factors. This paper presents a case study to address such a challenge. Specifically, it models and sim- ulates the cardiac surgery services in Ontario, Canada, based on the methodology of Autonomy-Oriented Com- puting (AOC). The developed AOC-based cardiac surgery service model (AOC-CSS model) pays a special attention to how individuals' (e.g., patients and hospitals) behaviors and interactions with respect to some key factors (i.e., geographic accessibility to services, hospital resourceful- ness, and wait times) affect the dynamics and relevant patterns of patient arrivals and wait times. By experi- menting with the AOC-CSS model, we observe that certain regularities in patient arrivals and wait times emerge from the simulation, which are similar to those discovered from the real world. It reveals that patients' hospital-selection behaviors, hospitals' service-adjustment behaviors, and

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
