federate, don't centralize
Patient history, complete and in real time, without moving a single data point from its original location. arco health connects hospitals, insurers and ministries over the FHIR standard — each institution keeps control of its information.
Sharing clinical information is expensive today
To make health systems talk to each other there are two common paths, and both come at a high price.
Centralize everything in a single national database
Slow, costly and with a single point of failure: if it goes down, everything goes down. A huge repository that must be built, filled and maintained before delivering value.
Send the information to a third party's cloud
More dependence on an external provider, and the security and confidentiality of the data fall outside the control of whoever generates it.
In both cases the data has to leave its owner. That is where the risk begins.
Federation: data stays at its source
arco health reverses the approach: data stays at its source. The flow has two moments, one for each product — Harmony writes, Acordia reads.
Repeated in each institution of the network
Queries each source in parallel, with timeout and partial results, and composes the response.
Harmony writes, Acordia reads. Data is not moved — each source responds from where it is.
Interoperate without giving up control
Full traceability
Every query is audited: who asked, what they received, and from which source it was answered.
Gradual rollout
Each institution joins at its own pace. The network grows without massive migrations.
Data sovereignty
Data never leaves its institution of origin. Each system responds from where it lives.
FHIR Standard
All data is published and queried in FHIR. No proprietary formats, no ad hoc translations.
Two sister products, one complete cycle
arco health covers the entire journey of clinical information: Harmony writes, Acordia reads.
Harmonywrites
Harmony takes data from each institution's legacy systems, maps it, validates it and publishes it as FHIR resources. It is the network's writing layer.
Acordiareads
Acordia identifies the same patient across multiple institutions and orchestrates the federated query in real time. Data is retrieved on the fly, not replicated.
One standard for every actor in the system
The arc bridges the gap between systems that never used to talk to each other.
