DENVER and BANNOCKBURN, Ill., Jan. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE: PLTR), a leading provider of AI systems, and Option Care Health Inc. (“Option Care Health”) (NASDAQ: OPCH), the nation’s largest independent national provider of home and alternate site infusion services, today announced a multi-year commercial partnership for Palantir’s software to be leveraged across the company to help improve patient outcomes and increase efficiency.
Option Care Health expects to use Palantir’s Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) across nurse scheduling, patient onboarding, purchasing optimization, and supply chain execution, among other potential use cases.
AIP enables organizations to bring the power of large-language models, and other cutting-edge AI, to their enterprise networks, private data, and core operations - with maximum security and trust. The platform is designed to bring in siloed and disconnected data sources, logic assets, and systems of action into a single common operating picture, enabling users to optimize their decision-making.
The company’s use of Palantir’s software is designed to help optimize visits per day and increase patient face time with clinicians, reduce administrative burden and help ensure stockage of drugs and medical supplies while helping prevent overstocking.
“We are excited to partner with one of the innovative leaders in AI-powered software and leverage their platform and expertise to enhance our intelligent technology ecosystem focused on streamlining processes, enhancing our expertise, improving the patient experience, and optimizing clinical outcomes,” said John Rademacher, President & CEO of Option Care Health. “I believe that utilizing Palantir’s Foundry and AIP will allow us to innovate rapidly, build on best practices and help ensure our approach to AI and Machine Learning incorporates the strongest foundations and provides strong protections and integrity for our stakeholders.”
Palantir has long worked with some of the world’s most important organizations and has recently significantly grown its health care operations. Palantir’s software is also used across a number of government health organizations, including the National Institutes of Health and the U.K.‘s National Health Service.
“Option Care Health is at the leading edge of deploying artificial intelligence across the healthcare sector,” said Alex Karp, co-founder and chief executive officer of Palantir Technologies. “We are proud to support this effort, which builds on our expanding presence in and commitment to the medical sector and will expedite and improve services to patients across the country.”
