A Neurologist is available from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays to Fridays to assist providers with patients with acute and subacute neurological conditions affecting brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerve and muscle, injuries to peripheral nerves, as well as seizures, stroke, and headache, etc, who are unable to see a neurologist in a timely manner.

Rural providers simply click on the Neurology Zoom contact to set up an appointment. The Zoom call will go directly to the neurologist or to a medical office assistant. Video appointments are preferred, since visual data from the encounter provides important information.

The requesting doctor will need to provide their MSP number and a fax number, as well as patient’s name, DOB and PHN. This can be entered in the chat box on the Zoom app.

If you have a Zoom account from RCCbc, the RTVS Pathways Contacts are prepopulated and ready to go.

To view them:

• Open Zoom on your computer, phone, or tablet.
• Sign in with your Zoom licence if you have not already done so.
• Click on the ‘Contacts’ button in Zoom.
• Under ‘All Contacts’, you will see all the available RTVS pathways.
• Select the pathway you wish to connect with and click ‘Meet’ for a call.

PHSA, Northern Health and Interior Health Zoom

If you have a Zoom licence from PHSA, Northern Health, or Interior Health, you can search for the contacts, then star them as favourites so they show up in your starred contacts for easy access.
