Nurse Practitioner Telemedicine - British Columbia
Overview
TELUS Health Virtual Care (THVC), Canada’s leading Virtual Care platform, is reinventing healthcare across the country. At THVC, we believe in providing comprehensive, accessible, and patient-centered primary healthcare, delivered virtually and on-demand. THVC is a virtual care platform that provides an instant connection to healthcare professionals.
Our virtual care practice is much more than a walk-in clinic. We understand that patients benefit from comprehensive, personal touch-based care that includes assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing support. We also believe that proactive follow-up leads to better therapeutic outcomes through enhanced patient cooperation and deeper therapeutic relationships.
Accessibility: Patients can start a consultation with THVC on-demand, 24/7/365. They are promptly connected to a clinician who can provide triage, symptom assessment and support.
Patients are then referred to a nurse practitioner or physician (Québec only) for further consultation. THVC prioritizes providing real-time access when and where patients need it.
Patient-centered care: Patients have access to their consultation history and clinical notes.
True transparency between providers and patients allows for open communication and better adherence to agreed-upon care plans. THVC clinicians work with patients to establish care plans that are relevant to them, based in their own community and focused on their unique situation and priorities. THVC clinicians may follow up with patients to provide continuity of care.
THVC is currently in the process of expanding its care team in British Columbia. We are looking for passionate and committed clinicians who are interested in joining an exciting organization whose goal is to change the traditional landscape of healthcare in Canada.
Our primary care team includes nurse practitioners who work closely with our multidisciplinary care team to provide comprehensive primary care to THVC patients.
