AN-ACC Essentials Course/Training

The essentials you need to understand AN-ACC

This course will provide support for your funding management teams to understand AN-ACC for residential aged care funding.

This short online course will guide you through the AN-ACC funding model, the case mix classification and the AN-ACC assessments. You’ll gain a basic understanding of the complete AN-ACC process to help you advance in your role.

The role of an AN-ACC Coordinator is substantially different to that of an ACFI Coordinator. The AN-ACC model requires residential aged care providers to analyse data and make informed decisions on which resident to admit, when to ask for a reclassification (up or down) and how this will impact care minutes and the roster. AN-ACC Essentials will introduce you to these new concepts and help you understand the differences and skills needed.

Testimonials

“The course was well presented and not rushed. The facilitator encouraged participants to engage in discussions and ask questions.”

Alex, AN-ACC Essentials participant, 2021

“All was valuable as my knowledge of the workings of AN-ACC is minimal. I particularly found seeing the clinical assessments that will be used to assess a resident most interesting.”

Erin, AN-ACC Essentials participant, 2021

“Having the items that I have read in current Dept reports and available info explained deeper and clearly so as now I understand AN-ACC processes and requirements in greater detail. I am looking forward to the advanced course.”

Catherine, AN-ACC Essentials participant, 2021

“Specific worked examples done in real time to demonstrate the calculations slide content was really well put together and easy to follow.”

Louise, AN-ACC Essentials participant, 2021

“I feel much better prepared to undertake ACFI assessments now than I did before attending the program.”

Andrew, AN-ACC Essentials participant, 2021

“I previously had no understanding of the level of complexity behind the current ACFI and the transition to AN-ACC has been explained well.”

Leonie, AN-ACC Essentials participant, 2021

“I had done a lot of reading and introducing myself to AN-ACC and it was great to have that information presented and be able to follow along and have clarification on some of the points.”

Siobhan, AN-ACC Essentials participant, 2021

“Great to interact with others and share knowledge too. Great to understand the timelines and objectives.”

Lisa, AN-ACC Essentials participant, 2021

More about this course

What are the benefits of attending?

For aged care providers of residential aged care services, AN-ACC means they will need to align their people, processes, some organisation structures, and data reporting to the new funding model. They will need to understand the revenue process and build the clinical evidence for the independent assessment teams to confirm. For Care managers and AN-ACC coordinators, their transitional journey from ACFI continues as evidence shows the introduction of new funding models can take years to embed. This course will help by providing:

Clarity for revenue management professionals on the new funding world
Connection with colleagues in the field to share experiences and practical steps to help manage funding
A roadmap for what you can start doing today to be ready for external assessments
Knowledge of Mirus tools that can offer insights and support
An understanding of the AN-ACC clinical assessment tool and process
A certificate of attendance with accredited CPD points
