The assessment of Kanta information system services is based on the objectives of the strategy for digitalisation and information management in healthcare and social welfare 2023–2035. The assessment sought to produce a comprehensive analysis of the development and functionality of the Kanta Services from the perspective of healthcare. The assessment focused on development costs, strategic objectives and priorities as well as on the current and future functionalities and benefits of the Kanta Services, for example. In addition, the development of Kanta and the related cooperation were assessed.
The assessment was carried out using a multimethod approach that included literary sources and empirical data. The empirical data was collected through a thematic interview and survey, in which a large number of parties involved in the development and use of the Kanta Services took part.
The current benefits of the Kanta Services were considered significant in the assessment. The results show that Kanta is a key digital infrastructure for healthcare, facilitating the sharing of patient data between different organisations. Based on the results, the transparency of funding, measures to improve the practical implementation of legislation, strategic guidance and the analytical prioritisation of development areas play a key role in ensuring the efficient development of the Kanta Services and their ability to respond to future needs in the digital service development of healthcare and social welfare.
