kantaasiakaskortin

Kantaasiakaskortti, or Kanta customer card, is a digital service that allows Finnish citizens to access their health and social welfare information. It is part of the Kanta service, which is managed by Kela, the Social Insurance Institution of Finland. The Kantaasiakaskortti enables users to view their patient data, prescriptions, and appointment information from various healthcare providers. It also allows for the secure electronic sharing of this information between different healthcare professionals, improving the continuity and quality of care.

To access the Kantaasiakaskortti, individuals typically need to authenticate themselves using strong identification methods, such as online banking credentials or a Finnish identity card with a chip. The service is designed to enhance patient autonomy and provide individuals with a comprehensive overview of their health history. It also plays a role in the electronic prescription system, allowing users to manage their medications digitally. The Kantaasiakaskortti is accessible through the Kanta.fi website and a dedicated mobile application. Privacy and data security are central to the Kanta service, with strict regulations governing the access and use of personal health information.
