AANAC RAC-CT Certification
About the RAC-CT Certification Program:
AANAC has developed a Certification Program consisting of
materials to help clinicians learn the completion of the MDS. These
materials are written by national experts in: clinical assessment,
completion of the MDS and the regulatory process surrounding the
MDS. An Editorial Board and other expert reviewers continually
review each course to ensure all materials are current and up-to-date.
Each module generally consists of: physical assessment
standards of practice; instructional information including source
documents from regulation; instructor commentary, frequently
asked questions; forms, tools, and in-service aids; case studies; a
pre-test, quiz and a final exam. This Workshop provides the entire
certification program in three days.
How the Certification Program Works:
In addition to completing the 7 core courses, the participant must
complete a total of 3 elective courses. The 3 electives for this
workshop are:
- Expanded Quality Indicators and the MDS 2.0
- Quality Measures and the MDS 2.0
- Accurately Assessing Activities of Daily Living (ADLs)
and the MDS 2.0
Pass each course with a score of 80% or higher in order to be
included in the AANAC National Database for the RAC-CT.
