Sanoman välittyminen vahvistetaan kuittauksin

English translation: acknowledgment / acknowledgment of receipt / confirmation of receipt

Finnish term or phrase: Sanoman välittyminen vahvistetaan kuittauksin
From a description of a medical information system:

"Potilastietojärjestelmä tallentaa suostumuksen, ja tieto voimassa olevasta päivitetystä suostumuksesta siirtyy välittömästi [tietokantaan]. Sanoman välittyminen potilastietojärjestelmän ja [tietokannan] välillä vahvistetaan kuittauksin."

How should "kuittaus" be rendered here?

(If I translated "kuittaus" as "acknowledgment", it might not be technically wrong -- but I wonder if there is a more specific meaning intended here, which the term "acknowledgment" would be too general to accurately convey.)

English translation:acknowledgment / acknowledgment of receipt / confirmation of receipt
Explanation:
I agree with your translation.

In the computing domain the noun acknowledgement is defined as a message transmitted to indicate that data has been received correctly.

For example the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) requires that the recipient acknowledge successful receipt of data. Such acknowledgments (ACKs) generate additional network traffic, decreasing the rate at which data passes but increasing reliability. To reduce the impact on performance, most hosts send an acknowledgment for every other segment or when a specified time interval has passed.

You can alternatively also use confirmation of receipt. However this term is used far less often in the computing domain.
