Watch out for scams posing as the Kanta Services and My Kanta Pages!

There are a lot of scam messages in circulation at the moment as criminals try to access Finnish personal data. The Kanta Services will never contact users by email or text message to ask for their information. The only way to log in securely to the My Kanta Pages is to go to www.kanta.fi.

Kanta Services provide information for the development of social welfare services

The secondary use of social welfare client data is now progressing in leaps and bounds. In the next few years, the wellbeing services counties will be able to utilise nationally comprehensive and up-to-date monitoring data on social welfare. Data on the time periods when clients had an active client relationship with social welfare and the services they were provided will be collected during 2023 on the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare’s social welfare monitoring register.

When the sharing of patient and client data is smooth within the wellbeing services county, there are benefits not only for healthcare and social services professionals but also for citizens. The professionals will continue to be able to view and utilise the data in connection with the provision of treatment and services.

The secondary use of Kanta data supports the effectiveness of treatment and facilitates the monitoring of services

The secondary use of Kanta data has expanded during 2022. The expanding secondary use of Kanta data in research and knowledge-based management benefits society as a whole. Kela is continually developing the Kanta data platform, through which national social welfare and health care data capital can easily be obtained for secondary use with a high level of data security.

Priorities for the Kanta Services confirmed for 2023

The Kanta Services will expand and become more versatile as citizens’ needs change and new laws enter into force. In 2023, development and deployment of the Kanta Services will focus on implementing the Client Data Act and the Kanta medication list. Development work is guided by the data needs created by the national health and social services reform as well as the secondary use of data content and knowledge management.

Assignors can now authorise trusted persons to use digital services on their behalf even if the assignor does not have online banking codes

With the help of Suomi.fi e-Authorizations, you can give a trusted person permission to act on your behalf in MyKanta. Previously, Suomi.fi e-Authorizations required the assignor to identify themselves using online banking codes, for example. The service is now also available to those who are not able to use electronic services themselves.
