Services and deployments
Joining Kanta is mandatory for most social welfare and health care providers and pharmacies. The Kanta Services support the implementation of services and any additional functionalities.
Joining Kanta and necessary preparations
By law, the majority of social welfare and health care service providers and pharmacies must join the Kanta Services.
Patient Data Repository
Patient data stored in the Patient Data Repository is up to date and secure, and can be used by health care professionals across regional and organisational boundaries.
Prescription
The Prescription Service is used to store and manage information about prescriptions and the dispensing of medication. Storing the data in one place improves the continuity of care and the flow of information.
Client Data Repository for Social Welfare Services
Client data stored in the Client Data Repository for Social Welfare Services is easily and securely available to social care professionals. In addition, the information is visible to clients in MyKanta.
Imaging Data Repository
The Imaging Data Repository is a service where imaging material generated in connection with a patient’s care is archived. The Repository is part of the Kanta Services.
Kelain
Kelain is a service that enables issuing of electronic prescriptions. It is a good alternative for private use by a doctor or dentist who is not employed by the healthcare service or who does not operate as an independent professional practitioner.
Query and forwarding service
Certificates and statements stored in the Kanta Services can be transmitted to certain operators outside the health care sector through the query and forwarding service. Electronic transmission means that data flows more smoothly.
MyKanta Personal Health Record
Personal Health Record is a Kanta service in which users may enter information on their wellbeing. In future users may give their consent to social and healthcare service providers for the use of the data in support of decisions concerning their health and wellbeing, as well as an aid for diagnostic purposes.
Priorities of the Kanta Services
In 2024, the development of the Kanta services will focus on, among other things, support for the development of digitalisation in health and social services organisations, and the updating of MyKanta.
