Abstract:
1. A healthcare information management system for synchronizing data in different instances of a first patient record that are maintained by different deployments and where the instances of the first patient record maintained by the different deployments may be updated simultaneously so that the first patient record maintained by different deployments may be different versions at any time, the system comprising: a plurality of deployments including at least a first deployment wherein each deployment includes at least one server including a processor that runs a computer program, and each of the plurality of deployments maintains a generation level for the instance of the first patient record stored by the deployment; a communication network communicatively coupling the first deployment server to other remote deployment servers; wherein the first deployment server performs a program to carry out the steps of: when the received update does not build on the first instance, determining if the first instance was built on the incoming update and disregarding the update as a duplicate if the first instance builds on the incoming data; and if the received update does not build on the first instance and the first instance does not build on the received update, moving the update to a conflict queue.
