Abstract
OBJECTIVES: In the shared care model, psychiatrists and physicians work in the same office areas, write their notes in the same casebooks, and can more rapidly exchange information about referrals and health conditions of their patients. We evaluated the impact of the introduction of a shared mental health care service, co-located with a primary care site, on wait times for mental health services in a northern Ontario city. METHOD: Chart reviews were conducted to examine a total of 3589 referrals for 5 mental health outpatient services (1 shared care and 4 existing services) from January 2001 to the end of June 2004. The shared mental health care service site was started in July 2001. Wait time was measured 6 months prior to and up to 3 years after the introduction of the shared care service. RESULTS: The shared care site offered services more than 40 days sooner and also helped to reduce wait time on the nonshared care sites. After shared care began, the pre-existing, nonshared care services had wait times of about 13 days shorter during the 3 subsequent years. CONCLUSIONS: The shared care service maintained the lowest overall wait times, compared with the existing nonshared care services. The existing services experienced a decrease in the number of days waiting when the baseline wait time was compared with that of the following year.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 it
