A medical records software apparatus and method is described that allows a clinician, e.g., nurse or doctor, to combine entry of new patient orders, prescriptions, flowsheet observations, etc. into the documentation process or workflow. A documentation user interface is provided that pulls patient data from a database into the display. The user can select on the user interface a category of a patient record, e.g., Significant Events or Orders, view or edit prior entries in the database in these categories, and add additional documentation for that category. The documentation is written or pushed to two areas of the database, one devoted to patient documentation and a second area corresponding to the selected category, e.g., Orders. The method and apparatus improves workflow efficiency and promotes a smooth transition from the thought process of the clinician to the ordering or prescription process, without the need for changing venues or screen displays.

Parallelize a computer program by scoping program variables at compile time and inserting code into the program. Identify as value predictable variables, variables that are: defined only once in a loop of the program; not defined in any inner loop of the loop; and used in the loop. Optionally also: identify a code block in the program that contains a variable assignment, and then traverse a path backwards from the block through a control flow graph of the program. Name in a set all blocks along the path until a loop header block. For each block in the set, determine program blocks that logically succeed the block and are not in the first set. Identify all paths between the block and the determined blocks as failure paths, and insert code into the failure paths. When executed at run time of the program, the inserted code fails the corresponding path.

Then, a function including the longest sequence common to at least two instruction sequences from a plurality of sequences having a common instruction sequence of equal or shorter length compared to the longest sequence is created (512). Finally, the original occurrences of the instruction sequences in the plurality of sequences with a reference to a proper position in the newly created function are deleted and a reference to a proper position in the created function inserted instead (514).

A technique for identifying and executing synchronized read regions and synchronized write regions is provided. The technique processes program code with a software tool to convert the code to an internal representation for the software tool and constructs a control flow graph of code blocks which also identifies the entry and exit points for each region of code subject to a lock. For each code block in the control flow graph, visibility analysis is performed. Each determined entry and exit point is moved to enclose the smallest set of code blocks subject to a lock which can be achieved without altering code semantics. A set of trees is created to represent the manner in which the synchronized regions are nested. If the tree contains at least one block previously identified, then the tree is marked a write. Otherwise, the tree is marked a read tree. A write lock is then created for the region in each tree identified as a write tree and a read lock is created for the regions in each tree identified as a read tree.
