Instructions and information on the Kanta Services and MyKanta for healthcare and social welfare professionals.

Guidance on the use of MyKanta

In order to provide guidance in the use of MyKanta, it is advisable that social welfare and healthcare professionals know which information can be viewed by visitors to the service.

Prescription Service at the pharmacy

At the pharmacy, prescriptions are processed in the pharmacy system, which searches for the prescriptions in the Prescription Centre and stores records of the dispensing events made by the pharmacy.

Prescription Service in the healthcare system

The electronic prescription makes the work of healthcare professionals easier. When the patients' prescription details are available as a basis of their treatment, it speeds up the professionals' work and helps in the management of their overall medication.

Sharing and transferring of data

With the help of Kanta, the data generated in social welfare and health care as well as in pharmacies is available to different service providers. The client must be informed about how the data stored about them will be used.

Storing patient data in social welfare services

Some social welfare and health care units provide health services in addition to social services. Patient data recorded in these units are stored in Kanta Services.
