Planned changes
The roadmap below shows changes to the Maternity Record (DHG) in both test and production environment.
| Change | Description | Test | Production |
|---|---|---|---|
| Consent requirement according to Pasientjournalloven | When DHG becomes a part of Kjernejournalforskriften, healthcare professionals with a work-related need to access information must state the basis for access (grunnlag). However, during a transitional period, consent information may be documented locally. Submission of the basis for consent will eventually become mandatory. See described here in nhn-access-basis. |
21.10.2026 | TBD* |
| Privacy settings in the Summary Care Record | Whether the citizen has: - blocked one or more healthcare professionals. If there is a block, it will appear in the response here. - opted out of having a Kjernejournal. This also means that they do not have a maternity record. In this case, it will appear in the response here. - restricted access to DHG (requires a higher level of consent ("Forhøyet samtykke" or "forhøyet akutt"). Described here in nhn-access-basis. |
21.10.2026 | TBD* |
| Organization number | Must be 9 digits | 15.12.2026 | NA** |
| Removal of existing consent from the pregnant citizen | Once DHG becomes part of Kjernejournal, the pregnant citizen will no longer need to give explicit consent for national storage of information. | TBD* | TBD* |
*Depends on the final wording of Kjernejournalforskriften and the transitional period.
**Not applicable since all organization numbers in production are 9 digits.
