Telehealth Services

Telehealth uses technology as a bridge between people and the vital medical services they require.

BC is a Canadian leader in telehealth, bringing the best medical services to smaller urban, rural, First Nations and remote communities by eliminating distance and travel concerns through secure telehealth platforms, such as video conferencing, web portals, data messaging, and more.

Telehealth allows The IBD Centre of BC to provide our patients with geographic equity using the latest technologies to provide enhanced monitoring, improved education and greater access to our multidisciplinary team of specialists. Our patients benefit from having a personal connection with our team members, without the burden of travel. Studies show that telehealth for IBD patients reduces disease activity and improves their quality of life.

In addition to patient care, we leverage telehealth to provide IBD education to support local physicians and allied health-care providers through monthly, province-wide video conferences.
