MDI will also allow you to copy the notes summary at the bottom and paste it into the new one, but you still have to individually answer the blessed little boxes!

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.............................

On my program from MDI I can reprint the raps by simply opening the assessment and selecting the RAP then printing it.  Trouble is you may not have the same staff around to sign for each section that they did.  I don't know if you should have to correct the reason for the assessment or not.  An annual would be a full assessment with RAPs and care plans redone anyway.  Maybe someone else knows the answer to that part of the problem.
