New Release Versioning

To improve clarity and consistency, we have updated our release numbering to a calendar-based format: YY.M.W.HOTFIX.

How to read it (e.g., 26.2.1.0):

• YY (26): Year (2026)

• M (2): Month (February)

• W (1): Week of the  month

• HOTFIX (0): Increments only if a hotfix is deployed

This change allows you to identify when a release occurred and ensures a more predictable schedule for the year ahead.

Residents/eHR 

Evacuation Report

As of our January 21st release, you have a new Evacuation Report, designed to help your team track safety needs and respond faster.

Download the PDF directly from the All Residents page and instantly view your residents grouped by Evacuation Status (fully customizable in Resident Settings), along with critical details like Room #, Ambulation Status, and Oxygen usage.

Note that this report requires manual setup. To populate this report, update the new Evacuation and Evacuation Notes fields located in each resident's Health Profile. 

Contact your Account Manager for settings or report configuration assistance if needed.

Clinical/eMAR 

Cycle-based medication scheduling

To accommodate more complex order schedules—such as oncology medications—we have added a customizable 'N Days On, N Days Off' scheduling option.

Set the specific number of days the medication is active (On) versus paused (Off). The cycle pattern is calculated automatically based on the order's Start Date.

This schedule must be configured manually when processing incoming pharmacy messages or adding and editing orders. 

'Create Incident' in Quarantine scheduling

You can now generate an Incident at the same time that you Add/Edit Quarantine scheduling for residents.

A new Create Incident checkbox allows you to select an Incident Type which can be done simultaneously with the 'Create Observation' workflow.

Your submission options will automatically adjust based on your role. Users with access will see a Submit and Go To Incident button to immediately view the new record, while others will see a standard Submit button to remain on the same page. 

'Diagnosis' in Medication List Report

As of our January 28th release, we have added a Diagnosis column to the Medication List Report.

This update ensures easier compliance with state regulations that require diagnosis details to be listed alongside orders.

Note that the Diagnosis column is visible only when exporting the report to Excel. 

Auto-scrolling for Barcode Scanning 

As of our January 14th release, we have introduced auto-scrolling to streamline  the Barcode Scanning workflow in Pass Meds.

When a medication is successfully scanned, the page automatically scrolls directly to that order, allowing staff to move fluidly through the med pass without manual searching. Auto-scrolling pauses if the last medication is scanned or if an error (e.g., 'Not Time to Pass', 'Wrong Resident') is detected. 

This feature is available for teams using Barcode Scanning with the ‘Scanning Preselects Med As’ setting enabled. 

Physician Order PDF improvements 

As of our January 14th release, Physician Order PDFs have been further refined to ensure all critical order information is more organized and visible.

• Schedule and Dose information was added back to the Physician Order PDF under the ‘Instructions and Schedule’ column.
• Nurse Only and Self Admin badges are now visible on the PDF (also shown on the downloaded MAR document). 

Revenue Management

'Export to Excel' in Invoice Center

To give you more flexibility with your billing data, we have added an Export to Excel option directly to the All Invoices tab in the Invoice Center.

This export follows the same familiar format as the Invoices Report, making it easier to analyze invoices offline or manually split payment amounts according to your specific preferences.

Check Scanning performance 

To ensure better processing and improved stability, we have optimized the Check Scanning workflow by introducing a batch limit of 100 checks.

A new tracker displays your current scan count (e.g., 45/100) in real-time. The system will notify you are approaching the limit and will restrict further scanning once the 100-check limit has been reached, prompting you to reconcile and submit the current batch before starting a new one.

Aging Summary calculation logic

As of our January 21st release, we have updated the calculation logic for the Aging Summary.

To improve clarity and consistency in reporting, invoices with future due dates are now included in the Aging Summary. These invoices are treated as having an aging of 0 days and will appear in the 0–30 Days bucket. 

Occupancy and Census

Move In Report updates

We have expanded the Move In Report to include more detailed information and provide better insight into your lead sources.

When exporting the report to Excel, you will now see three new columns: Referral Name, Referral Organization, and Referral Contact Type.

The former 'Prospect Source' column has been renamed to 'Prospect Source or Referral Type' to more accurately reflect where your residents are coming from. 

Miscellaneous Enhancements

New Export APIs for Compliance

We are expanding our API capabilities to give you more flexibility with your data.

Now access new v1 Export API endpoints (api.alisonline.com) for Staff Compliance (released January 21) and Resident Compliance (arriving February 4).

These endpoints allow your team to query data directly, enabling you to build your own custom reports and dashboards outside of the ALIS interface. 

Contact your Account Manager for assistance with feature enablement and/or API access.

Risk Management

New Returns from Leave logic

As of our January 28th release, we have added a new toggle in Resident Settings to control which care tasks display when a resident returns mid-shift.

• Off (Default): Only tasks scheduled after the specific return time will appear.

• On: Tasks for the entire current shift will appear, allowing staff to document items retroactively if needed. 

This update aligns Care Tracking with the existing logic for Medications.

App Store/Integrations 

The Accushield + ALIS integration provides complete visibility into everyone outside your care team who interacts with your residents - visitors, families, home health, home care, hospice, and other third-party clinicians.

 

• Intelligent Visitation Management: Identify and manage all visitor types, including family, friends, vendors, staff, and third-party care providers.
• Third-Party Care Visibility: Automatically track which home care, home health, and hospice providers are visiting residents, how often, what services are delivered, and for whom—creating a complete record of all outside care.
• Resident Sign-Out & Medication Oversight: Resident departures and returns captured in Accushield surface in ALIS to support medication management, accountability, and billing accuracy.
• Family Experience Feedback: Real-time family feedback collected at sign-out flows into ALIS as observations, allowing teams to address concerns before they escalate.
• Social Connection Monitoring: Visitation trends are pushed to ALIS to help identify early signs of resident isolation or disconnection.
• Automated Emergency Readiness: Real-time census data, mobility status, and resident face sheets sync from ALIS to the kiosk for immediate access by staff and emergency responders.
