Copy Forward Management
The following describes how to configure settings to automatically copy forward Documentation Areas in Insight EMR and how to update information copied forward in charting.
The latest results for tracked goals are automatically copied forward visit to visit. Clinical management may also elect to have information from other Documentation Areas (Procedures, Subjective, Objective, Assessment, or Plan) automatically copy forward from the immediate prior visit to the current visit.

From the Settings menu, select Copy Forward Management.
