Käyntitiedot

Käyntitiedot is a Finnish term that refers to data collected about visits or encounters with a service, facility, or system. The term is used in multiple domains, including healthcare, public administration, and digital services, to describe records that document the occurrence of a visit, interaction, or contact.

In healthcare, käyntitiedot are part of patient encounter information within electronic health records. They typically include the date and time of the visit, location, health care professional involved, services performed, diagnoses, prescriptions, and follow-up instructions. This information supports clinical care, coordination across providers, billing, and statistical reporting.

In digital services and public sector contexts, käyntitiedot may refer to visit logs that record when a person accessed a service, which pages or screens were viewed, the duration of the visit, and technical details such as device or IP address. This data is used for usability improvements, security monitoring, and analytics.

Data handling and privacy: Käyntitiedot are subject to data governance and privacy rules. Data minimization, accuracy, and access controls are important. When used for research or analytics, data is often anonymized or aggregated. In many jurisdictions, health-related käyntitiedot are treated as sensitive data under data protection laws, with strict safeguards and consent where required.
