federate, don’t centralize
The patient’s complete history, in real time, without moving a single record from where it originated. arco health connects hospitals, insurers and ministries on the FHIR standard — every institution keeps control of its information.
Sharing clinical information is expensive today
There are two common ways to get health systems talking to each other, 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 giant repository that has to be built, filled and maintained before it delivers any value.
Send the information to a third party’s cloud
More dependence on an outside vendor, and the security and confidentiality of the data fall outside the control of whoever generates it.
Either way, the data has to leave its owner. That is where the risk begins.
Federation: data stays where it originates
arco health flips the approach: data stays where it originates. The flow has two moments, one per product — Harmony writes, Acordia reads.
Repeated at every institution in the network
Queries each source in parallel, with timeouts and partial results, and composes the answer.
Harmony writes, Acordia reads. Data does not move — each source answers from where it lives.
Interoperate without giving up control
Full traceability
Every query is audited: who asked, what they received and which source answered.
Gradual rollout
Each institution joins at its own pace. The network grows without massive migrations.
Data sovereignty
Data never leaves the institution where it originated. Each system answers from where it lives.
FHIR standard
All data is published and queried in FHIR. No proprietary formats, no ad hoc translations.
Two sibling 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 write layer.
Acordiareads
Acordia identifies the same patient across multiple institutions and orchestrates the federated query in real time. Data is retrieved on demand, never replicated.
One standard for every player in the system
The arc bridges the gap between systems that never used to talk.
