Digital services

Tyks Orto offers electronic or digital services. These services are easy to use and available at a convenient time for you.

Tyks Orto Chat

In the Tyks Orto chat, you can talk with our professionals about appointments, treatment, referrals, and certificates. The service is primarily intended for patients who are already in a care relationship with us. If your matter requires handling patient information, we ask you to authenticate yourself or on behalf of your relative during the conversation.

You can find the Tyks Orto chat in the Varha app or at the bottom of the website.

Varha App

The Varha Application is a digital e-services platform provided by the Wellbeing Services County of Southwest Finland. You can use it to chat with social services and health care professionals, manage your bookings, participate in remote appointments, as well as send and receive non-urgent messages and questionnaires. The Varha App can be used both to manage your own services and to act on behalf of another.

Electronic appointment booking

In the electronic appointment booking service, you can book, cancel, reschedule, or view your appointments. Currently, the electronic appointment booking service is only available to some patients. You will receive information in the invitation letter if the service is available to you.

Self-Registration

Tyks Orto uses the ITTE self-service check-in kiosk. At the Surgical Hospital, the kiosk is located by the main entrance, immediately after entering the building.

To check in, you need your Kela card, another identity card, or the barcode on your appointment letter. After checking in, you will receive directions to the location of your appointment and can proceed directly to the waiting area, where you will be called by name.

Digital care pathway

On My Path (Omapolku), you will find the digital care pathways opened for you and self-care programs open to everyone.

On our digital care pathways, you will find reliable information about your condition. You can familiarize yourself in advance with the treatment of the condition, preparation for possible surgery, and receive advice on recovery. The communication channel found on the care pathway enables a secure, way to ask questions to professionals regardless of time. Depending on the pathway, it is also possible to fill out various questionnaires.

You will receive an invitation to the digital care path opened for you by text message, and then you can log in to the path. The service requires strong authentication, meaning you log in with online banking credentials or a mobile certificate.

Note that our digital pathways are currently only available in Finnish or Swedish.

MyHealth (omavointi.fi)

We collect information from our patients about their functional capacity and quality of life before and after treatment. The information is used in treatment planning and monitoring the quality and effectiveness of care. The patient themselves fills in the information about their condition by answering disease-specific quality of life and symptom questionnaires. After the treatment event, the condition is monitored for at least a year.
