A new partnership aims to apply artificial intelligence to help healthcare organizations better manage accreditation data and benchmark quality.
The Joint Commission and Palantir Technologies announced a long-term strategic partnership aimed at improving how healthcare organization and accreditation data are gathered and utilized. This is intended to support healthcare organizations in benchmarking quality and improving outcomes.
By leveraging Palantir’s data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI), this collaboration will allow both The Joint Commission and healthcare organizations to increase operational efficiency in the management of quality standards for accreditation and certification, according to a press release from the Joint Commission and Palantir.
“Leveraging AI and advanced data analytics will help us better understand the links between the care process and measured outcomes necessary for a step change in clinical operations and performance,” says Jonathan B. Perlin, MD, PhD, president and CEO of The Joint Commission, in a release. “Palantir’s emerging leadership in healthcare transformation makes them the ideal partner to support data-driven improvement and agile product development that reduces provider burden and enhances the quality of patient care.”
Applying AI to Accreditation and Certification Process
The Joint Commission, which sets healthcare quality and safety standards for more than 80% of US hospitals, will collaborate with Palantir Technologies to apply its next-generation AI platform to the accreditation and certification process. This initiative is designed to streamline these processes.
“The Joint Commission is committed to building the accreditation and certification process of the future, today,” says Alex Karp, co-founder and chief executive officer of Palantir Technologies, in a release. “This work will improve global health outcomes by utilizing AI to drive performance improvements around the world.”
Palantir’s approach is already having an impact on the healthcare industry with its innovation supporting institutions including the Cleveland Clinic, Tampa General, and Nebraska Medicine, among other healthcare systems. The integration of AI has led to reductions in patient wait times, improvements in clinical decision-making, and streamlined reimbursement processes.
“Through our partnership with Palantir, we have seen significant improvement in care coordination, clinical outcomes, and the patient experience,” says John Couris, president and CEO of Tampa General Hospital, in a release. “Given the scale and reach of The Joint Commission, I’m excited to see more of these success stories across the industry to achieve better healthcare outcomes for all.”
