Introduction of the social services customer data repository and medication list timely in 2026
Kanta services have functionalities that health and social services organisations must implement within the statutory time limits. It is now time to ensure that your organisation is on schedule.
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.
In the future, healthcare appointments will be saved in the Kanta Services. This will give social welfare and healthcare professionals a better view of the client’s situation and avoid any overlapping appointments.
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 sharing of data between social welfare and healthcare services is progressing
Patient and client data will begin being shared between social welfare and healthcare service providers using Kanta by 1 March 2027 at the latest. How should service providers prepare for the change and how can they get the most possible benefit from the sharing of data?
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.
