Abstract: Techniques for synchronizing data between a first device and a second device. A synchronization request is received at the first device, from the second device, specifying at least (i) identifiers assigned to data elements to synchronize, (ii) session identifiers indicating when a last synchronization operation was performed for the data elements at the second device, and (iii) data element values that have been modified. Upon determining that the session identifier within the synchronization request is more recent than a second session identifier for a first one of a plurality of data elements maintained at the first device, the first data element is updated based on the data element values specified within the synchronization request. Embodiments identify data elements having a respective session identifier that is more recent than the session identifier specified within the synchronization request and transmit data values for the identified data elements to the second device.

Abstract: Techniques for synchronizing data between a first device and a second device. A plurality of data elements relating to a care plan in a health care environment are created and a respective unique identifier is assigned to each of the plurality of data elements. Embodiments transmit a synchronization request to a second device, specifying at least (i) one or more identifiers assigned to data elements to synchronize, (ii) a session identifier indicating when a last synchronization operation was performed at the first device and (iii) one or more data element values that have been modified since the last synchronization operation was performed. In response, a second one or more data element values are received from the second device, corresponding to the one or more identifiers specified in the synchronization request. The first device updates the one or more data elements corresponding to the second one or more data element values.
