2 Research Study Overview Background During the last quarters of 2011, 2013, and 2014, the American Association of Nurse Assessment Coordination (AANAC) has surveyed its membership of nurse assessment coordinators (NACs) working in long term care with the purpose of understanding the issues affecting their job duties, performance, satisfaction, and challenges. By collecting, analyzing, and trending this data, AANAC endeavors to: Benchmark and report average completion times for MDSs by assessment type Benchmark and report compensation levels by various factors Benchmark and understand the time factors effecting accurate MDS assessment Benchmark and understand nursing home staffing practices and trends Methodology In October 2014, AANAC sent an to approximately 14,000 AANAC members asking for their participation this annual survey. Members had three weeks to complete the electronic survey for a chance to win a $25 Amazon gift card. From the completed surveys, AANAC analyzed only the responses from members who indicated that they work full time in the functional role of MDS coordinator/nurse assessment coordinator. The DHHS's Home Data Compendium 2013 Edition reports that there are 15,652 nursing homes in the United States. According to AANAC's 2013 Nurse Leader Work Study, each nursing home staffs an average of 1.71 NACs; therefore, AANAC estimates that there are approximately 26,775 NACs currently working in the field. With 521 NAC respondents, this survey provides a statistically valid sample of the NAC field with a 95% confidence level and a 4.25% +/ error rate. Data Basis The number of NACs participating in the study provides a large enough sample to be representative of all NACs working in the field; however, the results are biased toward the demographic profile of AANAC members and the facilities that they represent. Specifically, AANAC members are more likely to work in non profit facilities; therefore, these results may or may not be representative of all nursing homes in the U.S. 2

Slight variation in salary exists among NAC RNs with diplomas, associates degrees, and BSNs.

Similarly, salaries for NACs vary by rural vs. urban settings with urban nurses making 5% more than rural NACs, who make 9% less than the national average. $74,000 $72,000 $70,000 $68,000 $66,000 $64,000 $62,000 $60,000 $58,000 Average NAC Salary by Facility Setting $72,165 $62,856 Rural Urban $33.00 $32.00 $31.00 $30.00 $29.00 $28.00 $27.00 $26.00 $25.00 Average NAC Hourly Pay by Facility Setting $32.29 $27.69 Rural Urban Salaries and hourly pay did not vary significantly between for profit vs. non profit organizations. 5
