Your information system provider will provide support and advice on the deployment of the Kanta Service, especially for system-related issues, but some system providers offer support for their customers throughout the deployment process. The system provider will arrange user training for the system and is often responsible for many technical measures, such as implementing the access point between the service provider and the Kanta Services.

Kela’s Kanta Services provide support in the form of deployment coaching sessions. Together with THL, Kela also provides training in the Kanta Services’ operating models and procedures. If you have any questions about deployment, please email kanta@kanta.fi.

THL is responsible for establishing policies and procedures that govern the use of the Kanta Services. THL also provides guidelines for consistent recording practices and self-monitoring in social welfare and health care services, e.g. the preparing of an information security plan.

Kela regularly holds brief coaching sessions to answer questions about deployment. You do not need to register in advance for these coaching sessions.

Refer to the THL guidelines on Imaging Data Repository policies (yhteistyotilat.fi, in Finnish and in Swedish only).

Please e-mail the architecture description to kanta@kanta.fi.

Use the ‘Technical specifications’ form to submit information on which technical access point(s) you will be using to access the service. Please submit the technical specifications no later than one month before the deployment test.

If you are setting up a new access point, submit a notification of changes to access point data to Kela. You must submit this notification no later than two months before the deployment test so that the access point can be set up. The notification of changes must be submitted by whoever controls the access point.

In this application: 

• provide the administrative details required for using the service
• provide the details of the viewer system and the viewer access point
• specify your contact person(s)
• accept the service description of the Imaging Data Archive.

Once your application to register as a user of the service has been approved, you will be notified by e-mail. We will send this notification to the primary contact person of your organisation as listed on the Extranet.
