Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This chapter discusses key legal issues raised by the contemporary trend to managing and sharing patient information via electronic health records (EHR). Concepts of privacy, confidentiality, consent, and security are defined and considered in the context of EHR initiatives in Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia. This chapter explores whether patients have the right to withhold consent to the collection and sharing of their personal information via EHRs. It discusses opt-in and opt-out models for participation in EHRs and concludes that presumed consent for EHR participation will ensure more rapid and complete implementation, but at the cost of some personal choice for patients. The reduction in patient control over personal information ought to be augmented with strong security protections to minimize risks of unauthorized access to EHRs and fulfill legal and ethical obligations to safeguard patient information.

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.
