Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Unsafe practices and incidents that result in negative patient outcomes can lead to potential victims. While patients are the primary and most apparent victims, healthcare workers also suffer from their mistakes, in that they experience trauma following the event and are deemed the second victims. The term "second victim" (SV) was first described by Wu (2000), who proposed that physicians who make mistakes also need help. Later, Scott expanded the concept, defining SVs as professionals involved in a health error. More recently, an international consensus proposed that an SV can be any healthcare worker—whether directly or indirectly involved in an adverse event (AE), unintentional error, or patient-related injury—who is also negatively impacted by the experience of becoming a victim.

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.
