Health care facility's high-tech 'command center' nets rapid return

The $13 million Tampa General Hospital spent last year to develop CareComm, its new, ultra-high-tech command center that’s powered by artificial intelligence and predictive analytics, is already paying off. 

The system, which tracks patients’ journeys through the TGH system 24/7, has resulted in a cost savings of $40 million since August 2019, according to a statement. The effort, a partnership with GE Healthcare, is designed to reduce system-wide inefficiencies and decrease the length of patient stays.
