Summary
The Finnish healthcare system is based on publicly funded services organised by wellbeing services counties, complemented by private healthcare providers.
Healthcare data are recorded at both local and national levels:
1.
in the caregiver’s own records (public or private)
2.
in national registers (maintained by e.g. the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare)
3.
in the Kanta Patient Data Repository
These sources make it possible to locate data relevant to different needs and to plan data extractions for research or other secondary use projects.
