Shared electronic health records system

Shared electronic health records system

• From when will my medical records be available?

  Your medical records will be available for consultations that take place from 14 December 2020.

• Do my medical records contain information about medicines?

  No, Kry does not share information about medication via the e-service “Journalen” at 1177.se. We do not share this information via the shared electronic health records system, either.

• Do the rules about the shared electronic health records system apply if I am abroad?

  No, the shared electronic health records system only applies in Sweden.

• Can anyone else give consent to view my medical record information instead of me?

  No, only you, as the patient, can give your consent.

• Can I block my child’s information?

  No, you cannot block information about your children. Older children can block their information themselves

• What about IT security?

  The Patient Data Act and associated regulations have special provisions regarding the allocation of permissions and access control. The Swedish Data Protection Authority is the supervisory authority, and is responsible for ensuring that these provisions are followed by all healthcare providers that are part of the shared electronic health records system.
