TAMPA,
Fla. and DENVER,
Dec. 7,
2022 /PRNewswire/ --Tampa General Hospital and
Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE: PLTR) ("Palantir"), a leading
builder of operating systems for the modern enterprise, today
announced a partnership to improve patient care by deploying data
and analytics through a connected hospital platform focused on
driving operational, research, and clinical excellence. Through
this partnership, Tampa General will be utilizing Palantir Foundry
as the foundation of their data platform, employing AI capabilities
to augment critical decision-making on the frontlines and
furthering its mission to become the safest and most innovative
academic health system in America.
Health systems today generate continuously increasing, historic
volumes of data through daily patient care, but existing tools
provide limited support for wielding that data to create value.
Palantir is enabling Tampa General to take its organization to the
leading edge of innovation in health care by integrating Foundry's
ontology with key data sources and applying advanced analytics to
deliver insights to caregivers and decision-makers across the
health system — from improving operations, to enhancing clinical
care, to accelerating research insight generation while ensuring
the protection of patient privacy and appropriate use of sensitive
data. Foundry has already generated significant value for Tampa
General, including improving hospital-wide patient flow through
predictive planning and driving better adherence to target staffing
ratios while reducing excess costs.
Put to the test during Hurricane Ian and with the sudden
expectation of an influx in patients, Palantir rapidly extended the
already existing data framework built on Foundry to configure an
interactive, live 360 degree view of patients and providers. In
under 24 hours, Palantir provided Tampa General with the ability to
conduct scenario planning around patient-to-provider allocation and
maximize timely care. Tampa General conducted mass outreach to
staff members to make essential changes to staffing plans as the
situation unfolded. Both workflows have been repurposed for
post-hurricane day-to-day operations, providing continually
compounding value in Foundry.
"Bringing together our data, analytics, and operations through
Foundry not only enables our team members to see the big picture of
how our hospital is currently running, but also predict changes we
need to account for, allowing us to optimize every decision we
make," said Brian Hammond, vice
president and chief technology officer, Tampa General. "To us, our
health care system is a place where people come for personalized
care for both themselves and loved ones. Improving the insights we
generate from the data we already have available helps us with this
mission, and Palantir has already demonstrated the power of our
partnership in helping us triage the challenges of Hurricane Ian at
a moment's notice."
In the next year of partnership, Palantir and Tampa General will
continue deploying Foundry to enhance existing operational use
cases while expanding to new areas to drive better connectivity
across the hospital, which may include supporting care pathway
management, improving operating room schedule planning, improving
utilization across critical service lines, and driving cutting-edge
translational research initiatives.
"Tampa General is a great example of a leading healthcare system
that has prioritized finding the best technology available to
improve outcomes for their patients, and we couldn't be more
thrilled to be working together to influence the results that
matter most," said Palantir COO, Shyam
Sankar. "The fact that Tampa General's expertise paired with
our best-in-class software has already powered a solution that took
on the complexity and ambiguity of natural disaster like Hurricane
Ian, is proof of the long-standing value this partnership will
bring."

operations and outcomes for health systems.
