Brief Communication: A brief communication on the action plan to improve gender, sex and sexual orientation documentation practices in Canadian electronic health records
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Sexual and gender minorities (SGM) who have cancer face numerous challenges. Many experience discrimination, stigmatization and even violence when seeking care. As a result, some SGM avoid or delay care altogether leading to reduced cancer screening, increased cancer risks, and cancer being detected at a later stage (Margolies & Brown, 2018). Despite the tremendous progress over the years in the prevention, diagnosis, and management of cancer, much less is known about the cancer burden and support needs of the SGM cancer populations (Scime, 2019). This is particularly important for oncology nurses, since they interact closely with cancer patients throughout the entire care continuum. As such, their knowledge and empathy towards SGM can greatly influence the quality of care and outcomes for SGM cancer patients.

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.
