The people building Remedi.

Tom builds systems people actually use. That starts with getting the technical and business sides of a problem into the same conversation, and he has done that work for more than twenty years — first in banking, insurance, and logistics, and for the past decade-plus in healthcare. He has served as a chief technology officer three times.

His teams won a national AI challenge for predicting hospital readmissions, built AI and analytics platforms for large health systems, and led data and integrations for a national healthcare staffing marketplace.

At Remedi he sets product direction with his co-founder, the board, and the clinicians and engineers who build the product.

Dr. Richard Tarpey brings more than thirty years across workforce, healthcare, and operations — from a 22-year career at HCA Healthcare to earlier operational roles at United Airlines — with a research focus on how workforce systems behave inside complex organizations.

At HCA he developed the resource-scheduling quality standard that became the foundation of the organization’s nurse-scheduling system, work that still shapes his research into scheduling, staffing performance, and workforce optimization.

His recent studies examine how accurate staffing and scheduling automation really is — and whether the people affected trust and adopt it — always from a staff-centered view of how those decisions land on daily life, well-being, and the ability to give good care.

He holds a Doctor of Business Administration from the University of South Florida and an MBA and B.B.A. in Computer Information Systems from Middle Tennessee State University, where he directs the M.S. in Project Management program he founded and is helping develop a Master of Healthcare Administration program.
