Patient documents
Patient documents provide a record of treatment and are compiled at the treatment site or submitted to the treatment site. These documents contain your health data or other personal data.
As our customer, you have the right to verify the data recorded about you in your patient documents and to request copies of these documents. If you find the data to be inaccurate or incorrect, you may ask for it to be corrected. However, you do not have the right to decide what data about you is recorded in your patient documents.
The easiest way to view one’s own patient records is via the Social Insurance Institution’s (Kela) MyKanta service. The MyKanta service contains FSHS patients’ general and mental health data from 30 June 2016 onwards and oral health from 21 December 2021 onwards. Statements related to imaging examinations are saved in Kanta service at the FSHS since 15th of February 2022. Patient records and documents predating this can still be ordered from the FSHS (see the instructions below). You are allowed to receive copies of patient documents once a year free of charge and once after you have graduated. After this, we will charge a fee of 35 euros.
