About the AANAC 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 process. 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:
To be eligible to become RAC-CT™ Certified (Resident Assessment Coordinator - Certified) through the
AANAC Certification Program an individual must:
- Be a clinician/professional involved in the RAI process.
- Complete 10 AANAC courses, of which 7 are required and part of the core curriculum:
- MDS 2.0 Coding for OBRA and PPS
- OBRA Timing and Scheduling for the MDS 2.0
- Resident Assessment Protocols (RAPs) and the MDS 2.0
- Care Planning and the MDS 2.0
- PPS Timing and Scheduling for the MDS 2.0
- Resource Utilization Groups III (RUGs) and the MDS 2.0
- Billing and the MDS 2.0 for Clinicians
In addition to completing the 7 core courses, the participant must complete a total of 3 elective courses.
The 3 electives for the 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
