Harris Arc Health and The Jewish General Hospital (JGH) announce the launch of Observa, the latest module of the Arc Connected Health Record (CHR). Observa automatically transfers vital sign data from bedside monitors into a patient’s digital chart, helping improve documentation efficiency, reduce manual entry, and support safer care. This launch completes Phase 2 of the electronic transformation at the Jewish General Hospital.
The initiative builds on the success of Patient Timeline, Phase 1 of the Arc program and a 2025 Hippocrates Prize winner for innovation. Patient Timeline is a powerful clinical viewer that consolidates data from an unlimited number of disparate source systems into a single, unified, always-current view, giving clinicians complete visibility across the entire health region.
Arc, co-developed by Harris Arc Health and JGH, is a next-generation connected health record platform built by clinicians, for clinicians. It empowers care teams to access critical patient information in real time and deliver more responsive, patient-centered care.
Together, these innovations represent Harris Arc Health and JGH’s commitment to advancing intelligent healthcare technology that enhances care quality while reducing clinician burden so clinicians can focus on what matters most: the patient in front of them.
