Abstract

A method and apparatus for storing electronic healthcare records is disclosed. Embodiments of the invention provide techniques for managing electronic healthcare records in a hybrid domain that includes a high-availability centralized data store and set of distributed data nodes. A set of location policies may be used to determine whether to store an electronic healthcare record in the centralized data store. Over time, events may occur that trigger certain data records to be relocated from the plurality of distributed database nodes to the centralized data store.
