HTSI incorporated in the State of Florida in 1988. Collectively, our professional team has over 100 years of consecutive survey readiness experience.
Our hospital survey preparation and healthcare witness services are driven by our commanding knowledge of all hospital accreditation and regulations. It is these very regulations that serve to assure safe and effective patient care delivery in our nations’ hospitals and health centers.

HTSI President
Our president Garry M. Walsh has been a healthcare professional for 40 consecutive years. He became a patient care safety advocate while devoting hands-on care to Radiation Oncology patients for 7+ years.
He planned the delivery of safe and effective patient care as a physicist’s assistant and medical dosimetrist, directly serving and reporting to the medical staff. He also guided the provision of exemplary patient care while serving in the role of administrative director of several multi-disciplinary cancer centers. It was during this time that he learned the complexities and importance of integrating excellent medical, technical and nursing care. All with the ever-important goal of avoiding healthcare errors and injuries.
Since 1988, Garry and his team of professional staff and healthcare safety engineers have traveled 1.8 million miles visiting 44 states in our nation to collaborate with, educate, guide and protect 1000’s of healthcare leaders and hospital staff — from the board room down to the boiler room — in all matters relating to regulatory accreditation and compliance.
In 2003, Garry began delivering healthcare expert witness services on healthcare policy, procedure and regulatory matters. He provides comprehensive case-related analysis of patient care and safety activities that may be associated with healthcare errors or injuries. And when appropriate, renders formal case opinions during depositions and court appearances.
