Registering for joint testing

Registering for joint testing

Cases of use according to the requirements of joint testing and the purpose of use of the patient information system must have been implemented and tested in the supplier’s own testing. The preliminary tests of the registration form must have been reported to the Kanta Services when registering for joint testing.

Before registering for joint testing, please become familiar with the joint testing process and the parties and responsibilities.

When registering for joint testing, the information system vendor must submit the registration form, THL’s system form (5/2021: attachment 4, thl.fi, in Finnish only) ​​​​​​and, if necessary, the logical architecture description at least two months before the start of the planned joint testing to yhteistestaus@kanta.fi.

If a suitable registration form is missing, please contact Kela’s joint testing (yhteistestaus@kanta.fi).

In addition to joint testing according to the publication schedule (in Finnish only), Kela organises joint testing aiming for the first certification for the systems that have not yet taken part in joint testing. Find out about the joint testing process for a new system to be certified.

Workspace for joint testing

The workspace for joint testing of the Kanta Services is called the Partners site. Logging in to the site requires a user ID, which every person taking part in joint testing must have.

Links to the Kumppanit workspaces will direct users to the workspace login page where they will be prompted for their email address and password. After a successful login, users are redirected to the workspace. Users of the Kumppanit workspace receive a new password by email once every four months.
