Details
OmaKanta is Finland's most widely used social and healthcare digital service, providing a mechanism for citizens to access their own health records. This article contains multiple announcements regarding positive user feedback and the expansion of service scope. A key development noted is that starting in late 2026, social welfare client records will also become visible on OmaKanta. This expands citizen access to information from the broader social welfare sector, enhancing transparency and supporting procedures within social care. Furthermore, guidance for service providers (e.g., 'What professionals should know about data flow in social welfare') is provided, emphasizing the importance of data sharing. The text also details past incidents of system failures or scheduled maintenance concerning services like prescription management, indicating a continuous need to maintain a stable operational environment.
