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.

What is the transition timeline?
As of March 2024, some users have already started with this transition process. We kindly ask all current customers to transition by the end of August 2024.
If anything prevents your team from transitioning, please communicate with @YHuang .
Getting started
To begin your transition, please review the transition guide and checklist that we have linked in our Announcements below.
- Request UAT data update from production via Zendesk. This request will overwrite UAT with a copy of production data - When this request is complete we will re enable all the medication release flags in UAT including the medication 1.0 to 2.0 data migration process. This is required if you are using medication 1.0 and need to transfer this to medication 2.0.
- In UAT, Review client medication profiles with the data migration enabled, complete any remaining training,
- Pick a date on or after August 15th to enable Medication 2.0 in your production environment, if you can include this in the original request perfect otherwise submit a separate request with the production go live date and time so we can schedule the release flags to be set at the requested date and time.
