SOTKAnet online service
SOTKAnet Statistics and Indicator Bank is a web-based databank maintained by National Institute for Health and Welfare - THL that supports policy-makers and experts in the social and health sector in planning, monitoring and decision-making. The service offers free population data on welfare and health in Finnish municipalities dating from 1990 onwards. The data can be broken down by sub-region, region, province and hospital district, or presented at the national level. They can be searched easily and rapidly in Finnish, Swedish and English.
The search results can be examined numerically or graphically and also pictorially as a geographical map. SOTKAnet can be found at www.sotkanet.fi.
In August 2007, with the transfer of the data in the Municipal Database for Social and Health Statistics into the databank, SOTKAnet considerably increased its data content to cover more than 1800 statistical data items. SOTKAnet offers statistical data about a wide range of topics, including:
- population
- municipal finances
- families
- housing
- morbidity
- medicine use
- mortality
- service use
- inpatient and outpatient health care
Besides THL, the data are derived from various other key providers of social welfare and health data, such as Statistics Finland, the Social Insurance Institution and the Finnish Institute for Occupational Health. The database is generally updated annually after the completion of the relevant registers and other datasets.
SOTKAnet also includes data packages produced for different target groups and uses in co-operation with other experts in social welfare and health care. Such indicator projects include
SOTKA – Municipal Database for Social and Health Statistics
The Municipal Database for Social and Health Statistics was closed on 1 October 2007. Most of the data have been transferred to the free SOTKAnet online service.
