Canada has been slow to invest in health human resource planning, and the most detailed forecasting for the anesthesia workforce is now 25 years old.
“Canada has been slow to invest in health human resource planning 17 and the most detailed forecasting for the anesthesia workforce is now 25 years old.”
From Canada needs a national strategy for anesthesia services in rural and remote regions (2020) · cites this paper as [11]
The paper’s introductory discussion (indexed as Abstract; page unavailable) says Canadian physician resource planning historically relied on simple head counts and physician-to-population ratios. Its Non-OR activity section calls for a specialty-specific national human resources plan. These passages support a critique of planning, but do not establish that Canada was slow to invest in it. The citation is attached to that clause, not to the separate 25-year forecasting claim. (LLM, conf=0.78)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
