Frequently asked questions: CitizenOne vs Access Care Planning
Can CitizenOne replace Access Care Planning?

Whether it can replace Access Care Planning in your organisation depends on your services, integrations and local requirements, so we recommend going through them with us in a demo.

Yes. CitizenOne has medication records built in, so medication sits alongside journals, plans and daily notes for each person. Integrations with national medication records or pharmacy systems in your country should be checked with us.
