RCPA invites members to join us for an informational webinar featuring QUALO Healthy Pathways. QUALO Healthy Pathways is a COVID-19 risk mitigation and compliance software designed in close collaboration with experts in the areas of occupational medicine, human resources, and business operations. The result is a distinctive combination of management strategies and reporting tools that promote workplace health, efficiency, and compliance:

  • Report and Track
    • Exposures
    • Trace Contacts
    • Vaccine Status and Results
    • Testing
    • Exemptions
  • Management Dashboards
  • Compliance and Tracking Reports

Join RCPA member Advanced Metrics’ team of professionals that developed QUALO Healthy Pathways for a demonstration of the software and a live Q&A session. The session will be held on Wednesday, December 1, from 2:00 pm–3:00 pm.

There is still time to register for the 2021 virtual Psychostimulant Symposium. With the increase in stimulant and polysubstance use in the commonwealth, the symposium, which is being held December 1–2, will serve as a platform to learn the dangers associated with the misuse of psychostimulants while discovering tactics for preventing widespread psychostimulant use disorder, protecting individuals and communities, and providing effective treatment. Attendance is free, but registration is required.

More information, including registration, is available here. Questions about the symposium should be emailed here.

The Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs is making additional funding available to single county authorities (SCAs) for recovery support services. Providers that are contracted with SCAs and interested in providing new or additional certified recovery specialist, certified recovery support specialist, or certified family recovery specialist services should contact their SCAs for more information.
