Background: In recent years, due to the epidemiological transition, the burden of very complex patients in hospital wards has increased. Telemedicine usage appears to be a potential high-impact factor in helping with patient management, allowing hospital personnel to assess conditions in out-of-hospital scenarios.
Methods: To investigate the management of chronic patients during both hospitalization for disease and discharge, randomized studies (LIMS and Greenline-HT) are ongoing in the Internal Medicine Unit at ASL Roma 6 Castelli Hospital.

Decentralized clinical trials (DCTs) are studies in which the need for patients to physically access hospital-based trial sites is reduced or eliminated. The CoViD-19 pandemic has caused a significant increase in DCT: a survey shows that 76% of pharmaceutical companies, device manufacturers, and Contract Research Organizations adopted decentralized techniques during the early phase of the pandemic. The implementation of DCTs relies on the use of digital tools such as e-consent, apps, wearable devices, Electronic Patient-Reported Outcomes (ePRO), telemedicine, as well as on moving trial activities to the patient's home (e.

Background And Aims: There is still limited knowledge regarding the clinical profile and appropriateness of treatment in patients with hypothyroidism hospitalized in Internal Medicine (IM) Departments in Italy. The aim of this study is to evaluate: 1) the characteristics of patients and possible deviations from national and international clinical practice recommendations (CPRs) in evidence-based guidelines (EBGs); 2) the improvement of patient management by means of a standardized educational programme (EP).
Methods: A nationwide multicentre study, comprising two replications of a retrospective survey (phases 1 and 3) with an intervening EP (phase 2) in half of the centres and no EP in the other half, was conducted.

Objectives: Patients hospitalized in internal medicine are frequently malnourished or at risk for malnutrition. The aim of this study, conducted by the Federation of Associations of Hospital Internists (FADOI) and the Italian Society of Artificial Nutrition and Metabolism (SINPE) was to assess the nutritional management of internal medicine inpatients in Italy, to identify critical issues and formulate practical proposals to improve nutritional treatment.
Methods: From February to April 2021, FADOI and SINPE conducted a national web-based survey, including a 13 multiple-choice item questionnaire related to three key areas: screening and assessment of malnutrition and associated/overlapping sarcopenia and dysphagia; specialist consultations; and management of nutritional support.
