The

and by many ISPs. Any document with an exe extension is an

I

I didn't give you a good explanation of the form
when I sent it. You'll notice that most of the front page of each RAP is
basically just copied out of the RAP KEY for each RAP.
On the back, you'll notice it says "Nature of the
Problem", and you should explain the problem, with all the specifics for that
resident.
"Complications and Risk Factors" is the next
level. In there, I put everything I'm worried about. For example,
for vision, in a hypertensive diabetic, you need to keep watching them for
early cataract development, hypertensive retinopathy, and diabetic
retinopathy. Also, we tend to need extra light to focus as we get older,
and we used extra lighting in the rooms in general, so I usually stuck that in
there as well. These folks are really susceptible to ocular bleeds, so
they really do need to be seen q. yr, or q. six months (depending on the eye
doc and degree of disease) so I usually will put "Needs to be seen q. yr, per
Dr. X" in the referral section, then make a copy, put the date of the last
exam in red, and send it to the social worker (or who ever makes your
appointments), to be certain it gets done. I mention hypertensive
control to maintain low B/P so as to protect both against higher risk for
retinopathy and bleeds. (Also, our last surveyor was a diabetic with
retinopathy, and she was on a rant on the subject!)
Next is "Need for Referrals" and you would put in
whatever would be appropriate, or indicate why you aren't recommending
them. For example: "Mrs. Jones was seen by Physical Therapy on
last RAP review for improvement in gait, but showed no progress due to
advanced cog. loss, and will not be referred again due to no change in cog.
level"
The last analysis subject is factors considered
in developing the Care Plan, and basically you just list everything you
checked under "guidelines" on the other side, as you should have already
discussed them in the analysis sections above on the back.
If you have any other questions, let me
know.

Kathy:
I'm like you, I type much faster than I
write. I did my own set of RAPs for all the nursing stuff. I
basically just copied the stuff off the Keys, and then put in sections for
the nature of the problem, the complications and risk factors, and need
for referrals, if any and then the factors considered to develop the care
plan. I'm including a sample Vision RAP. Since I did them in Word,
you will have to either have Word on Word Perfect 7 or above on your
computer to use them. You will also have to remember to hit the
INSERT key in the word processor while you do them or else the format gets
seriously off, and items get pushed off the page.
If you can use it where you work, I can send
you the set of nursing RAPs. Just remember, I didn't do any for
Psychosocial, Mood or Behavioral RAPs.
Corey.

Subject: Template for RAP Module
Forms
Does anyone have a template for RAP module
forms already on their computer (like the Briggs forms, but don't want
to infringe copyright) I prefer to do things on the computer, it is
faster for me, and I like to save it since some things just don't change
much. If you have any you would be willing to share with me, I
would appreciate it, thanks.
