CLOUD-TO-LOCAL, LOCAL-TO-CLOUD SWITCHING AND SYNCHRONIZATION OF MEDICAL IMAGES AND DATA

A method to prevent conflict during synchronization of medical data between a cloud repository on a cloud server and a plurality of local repositories on a plurality of local servers of healthcare facilities connected to the cloud server is provided. The plurality of local servers includes a first local server and the plurality of local repositories includes a first local repository on the first local server. The method includes, while a connection between the first local server and the cloud server is established, causing the first local server to: receive remote data from the cloud repository; store the remote data in the first local repository as local data; and in response to the connection between the first local server and the cloud server getting disconnected, causing the first local server to: access the first local repository instead of the cloud repository; and restrict editing on the first local repository.
