I type our raps out by triggers on word,(on the summary, I type in:Refer to typed raps w/legend 3/01/04. And staple all the paperwork together. At the top, I type in the residents full name, what it is for ex: 14 day raps, and the date. Then I inital each sheet of my work in the corner as I do the trigger sheets. Most of the time I can combine several triggers together. I save on the hard drive, and always use a floppy disc to save. It not only keeps from losing them, you can a lot of the time, when it is that residents annual again or with a sign chg, admit from the hospital use the floppy to add and or delete, bring forward raps, what ever fits the resident at the time. I learned this the hard way, by not saving my raps on my hard drive and floppy. I feel your PAIN.............................

I have just found out that one of my MDS nurses decided that an annual assessment that was completed in early February, signed and submitted, should have been a Significant Change. She is right, should have been a Significant Change. The real problem is ,however, that she got so upset that she missed the SCSA that she ripped up the RAPS that she(and others) had completed for the annual. Now, I have an annual submitted to the state that should have been a SCSA and no RAPs to go with it. Any suggestions about how to save this one? > >/---------------------------------------------------------- >The Case Mix Discussion Group is a free service of the > American Association of Nurse Assessment Coordinators > "Committed to the Assessment Professional" >Be sure to visit the AANAC website.
