Medication Transition
Welcome to the community group for Medication 1.0 to 2.0 Transition. This group is intended for agencies that are currently documenting all medication activities with AlayaCare Cloud's Medication module.
This group will provide you with updates and transitional material for your agency to learn about the new Medication workflows.
What is changing?
Medication 2.0 is AlayaCare’s new medication tracking, administration, and reconciliation module. Accompanying app performance improvements is a new approach to enhance our clinical workflow capabilities. As an upgrade to our Medications 1.0 solution, its key benefits are:
- Additional reporting capability: Medications 2.0 allows users to easily create medication administration reports and pull information into 485 forms so to meet CMS requirements.
- Custom medication library: the medication library allows the easy entry, storage and retrieval of data when required. Nurses and caregivers can save time on administration tasks and more on delivering care to their clients.
- Overall configurability: The new settings in Medications 2.0 can be configured to meet agency specific requirements when entering medication details.
For a full list of what is available on Medication 2.0, download the 1.0 vs. 2.0 Comparison Chart.
You may also refer to this article for a sneak peak on a new feature called Medication Administration.
As AlayaCare continues to improve on this new Medication 2.0 Module, you will continue to see new features and enhancements.
