Mr. Arnold is executive vice president and chief digital and innovation officer at Tampa General Hospital, where he leads enterprise technology, innovation and cybersecurity strategy. He joined the organization in 2010 to lead its largest technology implementation to date, the conversion of the EHR, and has spent 15 years expanding digital capabilities across the academic health system. Mr. Arnold oversees TGH Ventures, the system’s innovation center and corporate venture fund, and directs the integration of biomedical devices with systemwide technologies. Under his leadership, Tampa General extended its partnership with Palantir to evolve CareComm into the Care Coordination Command Center, which continuously aggregates thousands of data points to inform real-time decision-making across care settings. The organization is deploying Palantir’s AI platform to build a care coordination operating system and automate additional workflows, including revenue cycle management. Leveraging this coordination platform, Tampa General reduced sepsis-related mortality among hospitalized patients by 3% in the first couple of years of implementation, saving nearly 200 lives.
