Tampa General says it's first to earn a new hospital safety certification, and is building a risk system with Palantir
The certification covers TGH's Davis Islands academic medical center; the data system is still in development.
TAMPA - Tampa General Hospital says its Davis Islands academic medical center is the first organization to earn Collaborative High Reliability Organization certification from SG Collaborative Solutions LLC, according to a Nov. 12 hospital release.
The certification reviews how the hospital's safety programs work together, including a risk-tracking Reliability Management System that is still being built. TGH said it is working with Palantir, the data-analytics company, on that system's analytical tools, which are meant to pull together the hospital's own data so risk specialists can spot problems earlier. The release gives no cost or launch date.
"High reliability begins with a culture where people trust one another, feel safe speaking up," said John Couris, president and CEO of Florida Health Sciences Center, which runs Tampa General.
The hospital said it was the first U.S. academic medical center to earn qualifications for two of the same certifier's safety programs, in March 2023.
