This paper describes how to implement a documentation technique that helps readers to understand large programs or collections of programs, by providing local indexes to all identifiers that are visible on every two-page spread. A detailed example is given for a program that finds all Hamiltonian circuits in an undirected graph.

This paper reports an initial study on classifying common Java coding pitfalls with an emphasis on the patterns that lead to such coding pitfalls. Documentation of such pitfall patterns helps to avoid making common mistakes and to shorten program debugging time.

Growth in federal, state and private funding is fueling the initiation of home visiting programs around the country. As communities expand home visiting programs, they need information about how they can successfully start up new sites. This paper proposes measures of successful home visiting program implementation and identifies factors that promote successful implementation or serve as barrie...

BACKGROUND- Increased compliance with performance measures could reflect better care or better data documentation. We examined trends in the documentation of eligibility criteria, treatment contraindications, and missing data in the Get With The Guidelines-Stroke program to quantify their contribution to increased performance measure compliance. METHODS AND RESULTS- Data on 569 883 ischemic str...

A Web-based electronic health record (EHR) system was compared with traditional paper-based documentation and vaccination tracking during the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic. In a cohort of 8,411 healthcare network employees, EHRs improved completeness of self-reported contraindication data and reduced medical discrepancies. Vaccination program quality and accuracy are enhanced by EHRs.

The concept of functionality oriented programming is proposed, and some of its aspects are discussed, such as: (1) implementation independent basic types and generic collection types; (2) syntax requirements and recommendations for implementation independence; (3) unified documentation and code; (4) cross-module interface; and (5) cross-language program making scheme. A prototype example is giv...

UNLABELLED I describe a parallel implementation of Rogers' mismatch algorithm, a method for making inferences about demographic history from DNA sequence data. The program is distributed on clusters of workstations, providing a substantial speedup and low execution times on large numbers of nodes.

Application Of Operational Art-The German 8th Army at the Battles at Tannenberg 1914, by LTC Kim 0. Frerichs, 57 pages. Operational art is a doctrinal term used by the United States (US) Army to describe the effort of military leaders to arrange military actions in pursuit of strategic objectives. Inl 914, the German gth Army in Eastern Prussia pursued the strategic goal of defending Prussia in...

For hospitals to get properly reimbursed under the new coding system, they must make sure physicians document medical activities better. Engaging them can be tricky.
