Registering for joint testing

Registering for joint testing

The functionalities included in the requirements of joint testing and the intended use of the patient information system must be implemented and tested in the provider’s own testing in such a way that joint testing is carried out in the most complete information system possible. Preliminary tests of the registration form must be reported to the Kanta Services when registering for joint testing.

Before registering for joint testing, please review the joint testing process as well as the parties and responsibilities.

When registering for joint testing, the information system provider must submit the registration form, the THL system form (Regulation 5/2024: Appendix 4, thl.fi, in Finnish), and a logical architecture description to yhteistestaus@kanta.fi at least two months before the start of the planned joint testing. Within the aforementioned two months, the aim is to check the preliminary test cases reported in the registration form and any corrections to them before the start of the testing between the actual system provider and Kela.

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.

    • Optometry images - Archiving

Joint testing of the Kanta PHR application

Joint testing of Kanta PHR means the verification of internal testing of the application and ensuring its functioning against the client test environment of the Kanta Services. Further information is available on the Integrating an application with Kanta PHR page

The client joins the client test environment in Kanta PHR at the same time as it registers for joint testing.

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.

The workspace for joint testing has been divided into the entities of the Imaging Data Repository, Patient Data Repository, Prescription and the client data repository for social welfare services. Logging in to the workspace takes place through the following links:

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.

Additional information: yhteistestaus@kanta.fi.

Kela will create new user IDs as needed. Users requesting a new user ID must provide the following information:

  • e-mail address
  • mobile phone number
  • given name
  • family name
  • name of organisation

Users are requested to send the information to yhteistestaus@kanta.fi. The request must also indicate the specific joint testing for which the user ID will be used.
