Sage Launches Tasking: A New Era of EHR-Integrated Workflows for Senior Living

Teams in senior care are being asked to do more than ever before. They must deliver exceptional care, respond quickly to resident needs, document accurately, and manage increasingly complex workflows, all while navigating staffing pressures and limited time.

Yet many communities still rely on fragmented systems that make this harder than it needs to be, and create gaps in information that can drive poorer health outcomes.

That’s why Sage is proud to announce the launch of Tasking, a first-of-its-kind workflow that leverages bi-directional EHR integration to unify planned and unplanned care—giving caregivers a single point-of-care experience to view, act, and document in real time.

Why Tasking Matters

For years, senior living communities have operated with a disconnect at the center of care delivery:

• Care plans lived in Electronic Health Records (EHR)
• Real-time alerts and point-of-care activity were managed elsewhere (or even went undocumented)
• Documentation often happened after shifts ended, adding burden to already stretched caregivers

This separation creates unnecessary complexity, increases cognitive load, and can lead to incomplete records or missed insights.

Tasking changes that.

By bringing planned and unplanned care together into a single workflow, Tasking gives caregivers one intuitive place to manage their day, complete tasks, and document care in real time. 

Built for the Reality of Caregiving

Caregiving doesn’t happen in silos. A resident may need scheduled assistance with medication, then unexpected support getting to the bathroom, followed by a change in condition that needs documentation.

Tasking was designed around that real-world flow of care.

Instead of asking caregivers to bounce between systems (or remember to chart everything later), Tasking keeps care teams in the moment, with the tools they need exactly when they need them.

“With Tasking, we’re removing one of the biggest sources of friction in care delivery: disconnected workflows. Caregivers shouldn’t have to chase information or spend the end of their shifts catching up on documentation. By bringing planned and unplanned care into one simple experience, we’re helping teams stay focused on delivering great care to residents.”
— Ellen Johnston, Co-founder and Chief Product Officer, Sage

What Tasking Delivers

Tasking helps communities improve efficiency, compliance, and visibility through three major capabilities:

1. Bi-Directional EHR Integration

Planned tasks from the EHR flow into Sage, while completed tasks and care updates sync back. This ensures teams stay aligned across systems.

2. Point-of-Care Documentation

Caregivers can document tasks in real time, improving accuracy while reducing end-of-shift charting burdens.

3. Better Operational Visibility

Leadership gains a fuller picture of care delivery, helping inform staffing decisions, Level of Care recommendations, and performance improvement opportunities. 

Launching First with ALIS

Sage is bringing Tasking to market first through a partnership with ALIS, a leading clinical and operational software solution built for assisted living, memory care, and independent living communities.

Together, Sage and ALIS have created a more unified care experience that moves beyond standard integrations to solve real frontline operational challenges. 

Reducing Burden, Elevating Care

Technology is intended to reduce friction. But that’s not always the outcome.

Tasking reflects Sage’s mission to replace outdated infrastructure with modern tools that help caregivers spend less time navigating systems and more time caring for residents.

When workflows are simpler, documentation easier, and teams more connected, everyone benefits: caregivers, operators, residents, and families.
