For the MDS professionals looking to take their experience to a higher level, AAPACN’s Resident Assessment Coordinator – Certified Advanced (RAC-CTA®) education program and certification provides advanced principles of clinical reimbursement, Medicare program compliance and integrity, RAI/MDS program integrity, leadership, ethical practice, managing medical review, accurate ICD-10 diagnosis coding, advanced strategies for payment oversight, and improving a facility’s quality measurement in all CMS quality programs. AAPACN serves the public interest by developing, administering, and reviewing a certification process that reflects current standards of competence. Whereas the fundamental concept of the RAI/MDS process is to promote quality of care and quality of life for residents in skilled nursing facilities, the goal of RAC-CT® certification and education is to establish that nurses have the knowledge and skills necessary to demonstrate competence in this area. By achieving the RAC-CTA certification, you will demonstrate an advanced insight and expertise in these areas. This workshop covers the following content from the RAC-CTA curriculum:
- Original Part A Program Requirements
- Documentation Requirements
- ICD-10-CM Coding
- Managing the Patient-Driven Payment Model (PDPM)
- Beneficiary Notices
