Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Canada's healthcare supply chain faces persistent disruptions, and its fragility has been well documented. This jeopardizes patients' access to critical care and places significant stress on healthcare professionals, which points to the essential need for a collaborative approach to building relationships, strengthening self-reliance and advancing healthcare supply chain resilience in Canada. This paper documents the design and development of a community of practice (CoP) strategy, bringing together representatives from different sectors, including the private sector, government, health workforce, health system leadership and citizens, to successfully mobilize their diverse expertise and co-design practical solutions to support supply chain resilience in Canada.

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.
