What do the disclosure markings in MyKanta mean?
The entries under 'Terveystietojen luovutukset' in MyKanta are created by disclosures made
- either through Kanta Services or
- outside them.
Viewing records through Kanta Services
If a healthcare service provider, for example the occupational health service, retrieves treatment records entered by another service provider, such as the public health service, through Kanta Services, the retrieving leaves a log entry visible to you in MyKanta. In such an entry, the party shown as recipient of the records is the healthcare service provider that retrieved the records. Below the recipient is a link to the treatment visit, the record of which was retrieved.
Disclosure of details outside Kanta Services
Outside Kanta Services, records that may be disclosed include e.g.
- old treatment records not accessible through Kanta Services, or
- medical certificates and reports for parties that require them.
If a healthcare service provider discloses details outside Kanta Services direct (e.g. by post), it must issue a declaration of disclosure. The information recorded in the declaration of disclosure is saved in Kanta Services and visible to you in the disclosure log data in MyKanta.
In disclosures made outside Kanta Services, the disclosure log entry in MyKanta shows as recipient the party that has received the disclosed details. Below this information, you can see which details were disclosed and by which service provider. For external disclosures, no links are shown in the markings in MyKanta.
