Care Area Assessment (CAA) Training for the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT)
Care Area Assessment (CAA) Training for the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) is organized by American Association of Post-Acute Care Nursing (AAPACN). This course has been approved for a maximum of 2.0 CE hours.
Comprehensive On-Demand Workshop
Care area assessment (CAA) completion, an often minimized portion of the MDS, can result in survey citations when details are lacking. The CAA Training for the IDT is an on-demand workshop that provides comprehensive training for all nurse assessment coordinators (NACs) and interdisciplinary team (IDT) members responsible for the CAA process. You will receive detailed case studies and examples for each of the 20 care areas, review regulatory requirements, and examine potential survey implications when CAAs are done incorrectly. You can customize the learning experience to best meet your needs by selecting to learn more about the specific CAAs you are required to complete. This on-demand workshop also showcases how the assessment of care areas creates the foundation for a strong person-centered care plan.
