Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract: Primary care is under the microscope in Canada and worldwide. Governments are spending millions of dollars on reform initiatives to see whether innovative approaches will make any difference to the quality and cost of delivering primary care. The question of where to start in planning the evaluation of a reform is a common concern. This article considers the strengths and weaknesses of logic models in helping to evaluate reforms and highlights the model for the Nova Scotia Primary Care Demonstration Project evaluation. Lessons learned from the development of a logic model for this project are also discussed.

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.
