What patient data can the client view in MyKanta?
MyKanta can be used to access almost all patient data recorded in outpatient care. For inpatient care, patients can only view a summary of the stored treatment data.
It is not yet possible for all patient information systems to store all patient data in Kanta. It is therefore possible that, for example, a certain doctor’s certificate or records of imaging examinations are not visible to the user in MyKanta.
How is data displayed in MyKanta?
All patient data stored in Kanta are displayed in the Health Information section of MyKanta by date of the service event. These events are known as Appointments in MyKanta.
Some of the data are also visible in MyKanta in their own sections in the Health Information section. These include vaccinations, laboratory and imaging tests and certain certificates. In order for the data to appear in its own section, the healthcare provider must save it in Kanta in a specific format.
Is it possible to delay the display of data in MyKanta?
If necessary, a professional can delay the display of data in MyKanta if there are justifiable grounds to do so. The need for a delay is always assessed by a professional on a case-by-case basis. Organisations also often have their own policies for which data is delayed and for how long.
