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.

On Monday, August 25, the Office of Children, Youth, and Families (OCYF) successfully completed obligations outlined in a Voluntary Resolution Agreement (VRA) with the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The VRA began in 2023 after a complaint of discrimination based on disability was filed against one of the county children and youth agencies that OCYF supervises. In confirming that all provisions of the agreement were satisfied, OCR noted:

“… the positive changes that have taken place to better ensure that individuals with disabilities will have meaningful access to DHS’ programs and services in accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, 29 U.S.C. 794, and its implementing regulation, 45 C.F.R. Part 84 (Section 504), and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq., and its implementing regulation, 28 C.F.R. Part 35 (Title II).”

During the monitoring period, over 31,000 state, county, and private provider child welfare staff received training on civil rights compliance related to the Americans With Disabilities Act. Following July 30, 2025, the training is not required by OCR. However, the training is still available via the PA Child Welfare Resource Center. OCYF encourages agencies to continue offering it to new and seasoned staff.
