Pennsylvania’s behavioral health and IDD providers face increasing demands for accuracy, compliance, and efficiency — all while staff are overextended and burnout is rising. Traditional documentation tools are no longer enough.

This webinar, presented in partnership with RCPA, will showcase how Pennsylvania providers are embracing organizational AI to strengthen clinical documentation, improve compliance, and reduce administrative burden across every program and service line. Ross Young and Michelle Montowski of Clinically AI will showcase how their organization is supporting RCPA members through adoption cohorts, creating a statewide movement to elevate documentation quality, reduce risk exposure, and give staff back valuable time for care.

Participants will learn how to:

  • Implement real-time compliance auditing that ensures documentation meets state, federal, and payer requirements.
  • Use ChartAware AI to incorporate longitudinal client history into documentation, enhancing quality and continuity of care.
  • Support every discipline and setting — from therapists and psychiatrists to DSPs, case managers, nurses, and peer specialists.
  • Reduce audit risk by automatically flagging compliance gaps before submission.
  • Explore how Pennsylvania providers are working together to shape best practices and accelerate adoption.
  • See how AI can be deployed responsibly — with clinicians always in charge.

This webinar is primarily for:

  • CEOs, COOs, and CFOs of behavioral health and IDD organizations;
  • Compliance, Quality, and Clinical leaders; and
  • IT & Operations leaders.

Harrisburg, USA - May 24, 2017: Pennsylvania capitol interior dome colorful ceiling in city with American Flags

On Thursday, October 2, RCPA joined The Coalition of Critical Services Providers at the Harrisburg State Capitol Rotunda, urging Governor Shapiro and the Pennsylvania General Assembly to pass a final state budget that invests appropriately in health and human services before there are no providers left to care for Pennsylvania’s most vulnerable. The event served as a call for an immediate budget resolution to ensure vital services for residents can continue across the Commonwealth as the Pennsylvania budget impasse enters its fourth month. Speakers included RCPA COO and Mental Health Policy Director Jim Sharp and President from United Way of PA Kristen Rotz. Behavioral Health Division Policy Associate Emma Sharp and Government Affairs Director Jack Phillips were also in attendance.

In addition, RCPA member EIPA Vice President Anne Lang and RCPA member Pathways Forward CEO Pat Slattery spoke of the current challenges in funding, stressing that investing money now would be vastly more economical than the long-term cost of leaving services underfunded.
