High availability deployment of an off-site management system for digital cardiac electrocardiograms operating in an application service provider model
First Claim
1. A centralized remote medical data management system, said system comprising:
- a primary remotely accessible centralized data storage storing medical data, wherein said medical data comprises at least electrocardiogram (ECG) data and wherein said medical data is collected from at least one medical device and is stored and managed at a location remote from where said medical data is collected;
a redundant remotely accessible centralized data storage storing a redundant copy of said medical data;
primary and redundant medical device connections connecting said at least one medical device to said primary remotely accessible centralized data storage and said redundant remotely accessible centralized data storage to collect said medical data from said at least one medical device; and
primary and redundant user interfaces accessing said medical data at said primary remotely accessible centralized data storage and said redundant remotely accessible centralized data storage, said access including providing said at least ECG data for at least one of viewing and processing.

Abstract
A preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a method and system for high availability remote centralized data management. In a preferred embodiment, the system includes a primary remote centralized data storage storing medical data, and a redundant remote centralized data storage storing a redundant copy of the medical data. In a preferred embodiment, the system also includes a primary data server for storing the medical data in the primary remote centralized data storage. In a preferred embodiment, the primary data server also stores the medical data in the redundant remote centralized data storage. Preferably, the system also includes a redundant data server for storing the medical data in the redundant remote centralized data storage and also the primary remote centralized data storage. Additionally, in a preferred embodiment, the system includes an interface allowing access to the system. Preferably, the interface is a redundant interface providing high availability access to the remote centralized data management system.
