October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM), which recognizes the contributions of people with disabilities to the workplace and economy as well as raising awareness about disability employment issues and ensure that people with disabilities have access to good jobs.

In the spirit of NDEAM, the U.S. Department of Labor has introduced the “Situations and Solutions Finder,” a new tool aimed at aiding employers and employees with disabilities in understanding a variety of workplace accommodations. The Situations and Solutions Finder is an AskJAN feature that provides access to more than 700 accommodation scenarios shared by Job Accommodation Network users that employers and workers with disabilities can explore.

RCPA staff and Conference Committee members are grateful to all of our attendees, speakers, sponsors, and exhibitors for a great experience at the Hershey Lodge this past September. We are happy to report that we had 800 people in attendance throughout the week!

Participants were able to hear from over 150 speakers, and RCPA was able to record many of the workshops as well as the keynote and plenary sessions. The recordings are available to attendees who previously registered for the conference in the mobile app. For those who are interested in earning CEs, you can earn over 110 credits!

We were honored to host 86 exhibit booths in our Connections Hall, representing a variety of services and products from pharmacy initiatives to technology, furniture to HR services, insurance and electronic health record systems to education, and so much more.

Our conference in 2025 will be held in September once again! We ask you to save the date — the 2025 RCPA Conference will be held September 9 – 12, 2025.

Act 66 of 2023 requires the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs (DDAP) to conduct quarterly evaluations on workforce issues, including the barriers to entry into the workforce and efforts to address it. Results from this survey, which also asks providers which of the regulatory flexibilities enabled through Act 66 they are using, will be used to provide an annual report to the General Assembly. The report will only include aggregated – not provider-specific – data. Surveys must be completed by Oct. 25, 2024. The survey is available online. Email all questions regarding this survey to DDAP’s Bureau of Program Licensure.
