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 put in touch with a member of the medical team who can carry out a short 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 medical team members 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.
