June 19, 2023 – According to a report from CNBC, Palantir has recently unveiled a new software that is designed to increase hospital efficiency. Palantir began to develop this software in 2021 after partnering with Cleveland Clinic and Tamp General Hospital.
Palantir assigned a four-person team with the responsibility of developing Palantir for Hospital Operations, a new software focused on guiding decision-making and resource support. The platform has real-time and predictive insights designed to improve patient throughput and staffing.
Palantir hoped to differentiate itself by working closely with clinicians and nurses to develop a meaningful solution quickly. “If you treat nurses and patients like widgets, you’re going to lose,” Jeremy David, a leader of Palantir for Hospital Operations, told CNBC. “For about two weeks, we tried to treat them like widgets, and we lost.”
Tampa General gave Palantir 12 weeks to build a solution and Cleveland Clinic gave the company eight weeks. Teams partnering with both systems realized they had similar needs for more efficient patient flow and staff resource allocation. They worked together to build and iterate on the solution. Cleveland Clinic, which has a 10-year deal with Palantir, reported an 8 percent increase in patient transfers from other hospitals after implementing Palantir’s software in March.
