JHVC Online is for...Care and Communication

Managing chronic conditions can pose many challenges, but with effective treatment and close follow-up, the results of therapy may be sound, sustained health. The components of effective vasculitis treatment are:

  • appropriate medications;
  • regular appointments to review and assess disease activity and treatment progress;
  • self-monitoring by patients;
  • efficient communications between people with vasculitis and the care providers who oversee their treatment.

All too often, effective treatment for a patient is not necessarily efficient for the patient or the care provider. Vasculitis disease management can be tiring, time-consuming, and frustrating.

At the JHVC, we understand the challenges for patients and their families. We seek ways to make your medical care less time intrusive, more accessible, and flexible to your schedule. We looked for a number of ways "outside of the box" to streamline and improve the care given to our patients.

JHVC Online and our new clinic processes release patients from being tethered to a phone, leaving voicemails, wondering if you'll miss the call back. It automates prescriptions from our office to the pharmacies of your choosing so your medications will be ready and waiting for pickup. It even provides an alternative way to consult your vasculitis specialist that, depending on the issue, can take place of an in-person office visit.

JHVC Online is available for any non-urgent clinic needs. Quick, clear communication helps make the daily issues patients face easier and less burdensome.
