American Association Of Post-Acute Care Nursing

Membership: members of the association are nursing professionals in the post-acute care field. The association's member benefits are designed to keep members up-to-date on the latest information on regulations from the centers for medicare and medicaid services (cms), and to provide best practice information in leadership and management. The membership program offers individual memberships as well as organizational memberships, which assist corporate ownership of nursing facilities to provide their employees with the association's education and membership benefits.

Conferences: the association has one annual conference, providing educational and networking opportunities for nurse assessment coordinators, directors of nursing services and other nurse leaders in the post-acute care field. The conference provides timely and in-depth sessions on cms regulations, the rai process, the survey process, and nursing leadership.

Business development: this program connects the association's members with organizations that provide services to post-acute care facilities. These partners also expand the association's reach to other post-acute care roles by helping create quality educational activities and resources on subjects that are outside the expertise of the association's staff subject matter experts.
