View your patient data online

Our Oma Pihlajalinna service provides you with a wide range of information regarding your health. The service displays your information and service history and enables you to modify your consent settings related to data protection. You can effortlessly view your prescriptions and test results. We are constantly developing the service.

In the Oma Pihlajalinna service, you can view your health data created in Pihlajalinna’s services. The Oma Pihlajalinna service is not designed for providing treatment recommendations but for displaying statements on issued treatment, prescribed medication and sick leaves. The service does not contain all the information stored in the customer and patient register.

You can also view your health data in the Pihlajalinna mobile application.

Did you know that you can also view your medical records on My Kanta?

Pihlajalinna is connected to the Patient Data Repository, a section of the Finnish National Archive of Health Information (Kanta). As a rule, Pihlajalinna records key medical record entries and laboratory responses in the archive. You can access your medical record entries via My Kanta and print them out for your own use.

Do you need your information for an appointment at another healthcare institution?

In My Kanta, you can manage your consents for using your data stored in the Patient Data Repository for your treatment between different healthcare providers. With your consent, the professionals participating in your care can view your information if the healthcare provider has access to the Patient Data Repository. Giving your consent is the easiest way to make your medical record entries submitted at Pihlajalinna available to other professionals participating in your care. If you do not wish to give your consent, you can also print out your information from My Kanta and bring it to your appointment.
