Kanta supports continuity of care in the freedom of choice pilot for persons aged 65 and over
It is important for patient data to move smoothly between different operators in the freedom of choice pilot for people aged 65 and over. Continuity of care can be ensured when patient data is available in Kanta to all those involved in the care.
The Client Data Repository for Social Welfare Services
With this service, the client data created by social services can be stored securely for easy access. The functionalities of the client data repository make it easier to integrate and process any data generated in outsourced services, for example.
The medication list improves the safety of pharmacotherapy: the list provides up-to-date information about the medicines the patient is taking. The first-phase features of the medication list can now be implemented in all health and social services organisations and pharmacies.
Summaries can be generated from key health data recorded in Kanta. These summaries provide professionals with quick access to essential and up-to-date information on a patient’s health status.
The authorisation of outsourcing service providers makes it easier to process patient data in the context of outsourced services, allowing data to be transferred quickly and in a secure manner between the service organisers and the service providers.
In Kanta online schools, professionals in social welfare and healthcare services and pharmacies learn about the Kanta Services and new functionalities. The language of the online schools is Finnish and Swedish.

The first version of the MyKanta application has been released. The mobile application now allows you to view and renew prescriptions, and to enable notifications concerning new and renewed prescriptions. Other features will be added to the application in stages.
The development of the Kanta Services improves the continuity of care and social welfare and healthcare services, and strengthens the national knowledge base. The deployment of new Kanta functionalities supports the continuity of care and services in many ways.
