HealthLinkBC is a government-funded telehealth service launched in 2001, which provides non-emergency health information to the residents of British Columbia, Canada through combined telephone, internet, mobile app, and print resources. HealthLink BC has two dedicated phone numbers 8-1-1 and 7-1-1 for hearing impaired callers. Health service representatives assist callers with speaking to a registered nurse, dietitian or pharmacist about health related concerns or find health resources in their area. HealthLinkBC operates within Ministry of Health (British Columbia). Translation services in 130 languages are available upon request. ==History== The organization was launched in 2001 as the BC HealthGuide Program by Ministry of Health (British Columbia). The program provides telephone triage and health information through integrated telephone, web and print resources. At its launch, it consisted of three main components: the BC HealthGuide Handbook, a medically approved handbook delivered to all B.C. households; a toll-free telephone line, staffed by registered nurses 24/7/365 who provide confidential health information and triage services over the telephone and a website, called BC HealthGuide Online, which provided a knowledge base of health information and provided links to other credible consumer health information sources and websites. On November 21, 2008, the Executive Council of British Columbia launched a newly branded organization, HealthLink BC, along with its 8-1-1 number. This brought together all of the organization’s various services under a single brand and telephone number. These services include Nursing, Dietitian, Pharmacist and Navigation Services, "''HealthLinkBC.ca''" and "''HealthLinkBC Files''". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「HealthLinkBC」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
