FSHS has joined the Kanta system •
You can use the My Kanta pages to view your health information and electronic prescriptions.
•
You need a Finnish ID number to access My Kanta pages.
•
If you give your consent, other healthcare service providers can access your patient data from the FSHS patient data system and vice versa. The benefit of this system is that if you see a doctor somewhere else, the data will be passed on to the FSHS and can thus be taken into consideration during subsequent treatment visits. Data will be shared with different parties only if you consent to this. You can choose which data is visible to which service providers.
