    storing the data and information and the version number in a location specific to the one remotely located source;

    aggregating the patient data and information with data and information accumulated from the plurality of separate remotely located sources into a common, logical patient record;

    populating the common, logical patient record for the patient in a high speed memory with the data and information and version number;

    making the patient data and information available from the high speed memory for use by one or more applications and to one or more local users of a central repository and to one or more remotely located users of the central repository, each of the one or more applications being independently operable of each other; and
