What it computes

Compute the Weiss 2014 CEDOCS reduced-model score from caller-supplied critical-care patients, longest admitted-patient hours since admission, waiting-room count, ED patients, ED beds, and annual ED visits.

When to use

When an agent has the published snapshot counts, hours, and annual visits for a community ED and needs the Weiss 2014 reduced-model CEDOCS score, not a diversion or ambulance-bypass order.

When not to use

• Not a medical device. Not a diversion or ambulance-bypass order.
• magent does not count patients, beds, or wait times. Caller supplies the published numeric inputs.
• Weiss 2014 reduced model for community EDs. Academic NEDOCS is a different tool.
• The paper's outcome scale is 0-100. magent does not clamp the linear combination, does not double the score onto a 0-200 range, and does not invent 20/60/100 named class bands.
• Pediatric-only EDs were not this model. Not a diagnosis of crowding-related harm.

Formula

cedocs_score = -30.39 + 3.00 * critical_care_patients + 0.53 * admit_time_hours + 1.16 * waiting_room_patients + 20.66 * (ed_patients / ed_beds) + 0.00126 * ed_visits_per_year - 1.11e-12 * pmax(ed_visits_per_year - 18811, 0)^3 + 8.23e-12 * pmax(ed_visits_per_year - 43012, 0)^3 - 8.20e-12 * pmax(ed_visits_per_year - 49466, 0)^3 + 1.08e-12 * pmax(ed_visits_per_year - 67273, 0)^3

/api/calc/cedocs?critical_care_patients=0&admit_time_hours=0&waiting_room_patients=0&ed_patients=0&ed_beds=20&ed_visits_per_year=46000

Full URL: https://api.magentlab.com/api/calc/cedocs?critical_care_patients=0&admit_time_hours=0&waiting_room_patients=0&ed_patients=0&ed_beds=20&ed_visits_per_year=46000

Call

Expect HTTP 402 until you retry with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE. Incomplete query params return HTTP 400 before any quote or charge.

curl -i -H "Accept: application/json" "https://api.magentlab.com/api/calc/cedocs?critical_care_patients=0&admit_time_hours=0&waiting_room_patients=0&ed_patients=0&ed_beds=20&ed_visits_per_year=46000"

Parameters

Bulk (POST)

POST the same path with a JSON items array. The first item is the GET unit; each additional item is $0.002. Invalid items return HTTP 400 before settlement.

POST /api/calc/cedocs Max 25 unit_amount + extra_item_amount * (n - 1) extra $0.002 PREVIEW

• 1 to 25 items. Each item uses the same keys as the GET query parameters.
• POST of 1 item costs the same as GET. Lists longer than 25: chunk into multiple POSTs. Extra items still execute; do not pad dummy rows.
• The first invalid item fails the whole request (index in the 400 JSON). You are not charged.
• HTTP 200 is {count, path, items}. Each items[i] is the GET 200 body for that row.
• Catalog misses (empty matches, found=false) stay paid 200s inside that slot.
• x402 resource URL is this path plus n and body_sha256. Browsers that prefer text/html get the same paywall as GET; Pay retries POST with the same items.

Client errors (HTTP 400)

Invalid params return 400 without charge. Shared HTTP 402 and 503 meanings: Payments.

Related tools

• NEDOCS — Compute the Weiss 2004 NEDOCS reduced five-variable score from caller-supplied ED patients, ED beds, boarding patients, hospital beds, respirators, longest admitted-patient hours, and last-called registration-to-bed hours, and return the published ≥100 overcrowding cutoff.

Payment

Unpaid requests return HTTP 402 even if query parameters or POST items are missing or invalid, so CDP and agents can index the path. After a PAYMENT-SIGNATURE, invalid params return HTTP 400 JSON before settlement. magent does not charge. Fix the params, then request a new 402 quote for that complete URL. Catalog misses (empty matches, found=false) are valid paid 200s. Unpaid valid requests return HTTP 402 with a base64 PAYMENT-REQUIRED header. HTTP 503 is not a new quote: retry the same PAYMENT-SIGNATURE. Full handshake and shared payment errors: Payments. Stdio MCP: /docs/mcp.

Guarantees

• HTTP 402 is unpaid, including a missing query. After PAYMENT-SIGNATURE, invalid parameters return HTTP 400 before settlement. You are not charged. HTTP 402 never includes the tool JSON.
• exact: settlement finishes before the tool (paymentFlow upfront). batch-settlement: verify/deposit before the tool; chargedCumulativeAmount commits after HTTP 2xx. Uncertain or failed settlement fails closed (HTTP 503). Retry the same PAYMENT-SIGNATURE.
• HTTP 402 is unpaid only. Do not sign a second authorization because of a 503.
• Execution is timeout-bounded and concurrency-capped.
• Calculator inputs are stored encrypted for allowlisted operators (Magent Console). They are not in public logs, SSH lookups, catalog, or rollups. Request logs store path without query.
