Nurses call Palantir scheduling errors a safety issue

On October 2, 2026, Wired reported that a large hospital group and a radiology network brought in Palantir to streamline their scheduling, but nurses and other staff say the new software is causing errors, burnout, and frustration. Those employees go further than describing the software as inconvenient: they call the problems it creates a safety issue.

The report does not name the hospital group or the radiology network involved. It also does not identify the specific Palantir product, say when the scheduling software went live, or give any numbers on how often scheduling errors occur or how many staff members are affected. Palantir has not responded in the material available, and there is no word on whether the hospitals have taken corrective steps or whether the software is still in use. As it stands, the situation is left at that point: staff have raised concerns they frame as safety-related, while the company and the institutions have yet to offer a public response in the coverage.
