The quickest and easiest way to manage your own patient data and other personal data is to use the OmaMehiläinen service, through which you can view your own data and manage consents and prohibitions related to the use of data. If you want, you can get your patient information from Mehiläinen’s doctor, dental and diagnostics services. Patient information includes, for example, patient records from doctors’ appointments and diagnostic images such as x-rays taken at Mehiläinen.
Ordering patient information
In the OmaMehiläinen digital service or our free OmaMehiläinen mobile application, you can see records related to your visits to Mehiläinen, examination results and x-ray and MRI images. You can also print out your patient records and test results through OmaMehiläinen. You can log in to OmaMehiläinen by identifying yourself with your online banking credentials at oma.mehilainen.fi or by downloading the OmaMehiläinen application to your mobile device and logging in. You can download the free mobile application from the App Store or Google Play.

You can view the patient data transferred to Kela’s national Kanta services and give consents and prohibitions related to their use in the My Kanta service.

With the patient’s consent, patient data stored in the Patient Data Repository can be accessed by both public and private health care nationwide. After giving the consent, the customer may enter prohibitions on the disclosure of data from the Patient Data Repository. Deploy the My Kanta service.
