13^th International Conference on Internal Medicine and Hospital Management April 26-27, 2023 Paris, France

Track 1: Internal Medicine and Infectious Disease

Infectious disease is the subspecialty of internal medicine dealing with diagnosis and the treatment of communicable diseases of all types, in all organs, and in patients of all ages. This specialty requires an understanding of the microbiology, prevention, and management of disorders caused by viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic infections, including appropriate use of antimicrobial agents, vaccines, and other immune biological agents; environmental, occupational, and host factors that predispose to infection; and basic principles of epidemiology and transmission of infection. The emergence of drug-resistant bacteria, and  AIDS epidemic have significantly affected this specialty. 

Track 2: Internal Medicine and Adolescent Medicine

Adolescent medicine (Hebiatrics) is the medical subspecialty that focuses on care of  the patients who are in  adolescent period of development, generally ranging from last years of elementary school until graduation from the high school (some doctors in this subspecialty treat young adults attending college at area clinics, in the subfield of college health). Main health issues related to adolescent medicine will be discussed in our scientific sessions.

Track 3: Internal Medicine and Adult Immunization

Immunization is a process whereby the person is made immune or resistant to an infectious disease, typically by the administration of a vaccine. Vaccines stimulate body’s own immune system to protect the person against subsequent infection or disease. Vaccination is the administration of antigenic material (a vaccine) to stimulate the individual's immune system to develop adaptive immunity to a pathogen. Critical Care in Internal MedicineIntensive care medicine or the critical care medicine is a branch of medicine concerned with diagnosis and management of life-threatening conditions requiring sophisticated organ support and the invasive monitoring. 

Track 4:Internal Medicine and Geriatrics

Geriatrics is the speciality in internal medicine. Geriatrics differs from the standard adult medicine because it focuses on unique needs of elderly person. Aged body is different physiologically from the younger adult body, and during old age, the decline of various organ systems becomes manifest. Previous health issues and lifestyle choices produce a different constellation of the disease and symptoms in different people. The appearance of symptoms depends on remaining healthy reserves in the organs. Smokers, for example, consume their respiratory system reserve early and rapidly. 

Track 5:  Internal Medicine and Sleep Medicine

Sleep medicine is the medical specialty or subspecialty devoted to diagnosis and therapy of sleep disturbances and disorders. Disorders and disturbances of sleep are widespread and can have significant consequences for affected individuals as well as the economic and other consequences for society research studies have shown that, the leading cause (31%) of fatal-to-the-driver heavy truck crashes is fatigue related with drugs and alcohol as the number two cause (29%)Sleep deprivation. The lack of quality of sleep can have a negative impact on your energy, Emotional balance, and the health. Whereas those who are suffering from regular sleeping problems often have an underlying medical or mental health problem, be it is minor or serious. 

Track 6: Internal Medicine and Clinical Pharmacist

Clinical pharmacy is a branch of Pharmacy where pharmacists provide patient care that optimizes the use of medication and promotes health, wellness, and disease prevention. Clinical pharmacists care for patients in all the health care settings but the clinical pharmacy movement initially began inside hospitals and clinics. Clinical pharmacists often collaborate with the physicians and other healthcare professionals. Clinical Pharmacist optimizes the outcomes of internal medicine patients by providing evidence-based, patient- centered medication therapy. This scientific session will focus on Research in Health & Medicine, Radiopharmaceuticals, Nanotechnology, Hospital Pharmacy, Drugs and Regulations, Genetics, Genetic Engineering and Biomedical Engineering, Pharmacological Sciences, Pharmacognosy, Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Phytochemistry, Biopharmaceutics and Pre-formulation Studies.

Track 7: Internal Medicine and Patient Care

Primary care is a healthcare given by the healthcare provider. This provider acts as first contact, principal point of continuing care for the patient within a health care system, and coordinates with another specialist care that the patient may need. Patients commonly get primary care from the primary care physician. Physicians specializing in internal medicine are called internist.

Track 8: Internal Medicine and Hospital Medicine

Hospital medicine is a type of practice within internal medicine in which the clinical focus is caring for hospitalized patients. Physicians whose primary professional focus is hospital medicine are called hospitalists.

Practitioners of hospital medicine include physicians (“hospitalists”) and non-physician providers who engage in clinical care, teaching, research, or leadership in the field of general hospital medicine. In addition to their core expertise managing the clinical problems of acutely ill, hospitalized patients, hospital medicine practitioners work to enhance the performance of hospitals and healthcare systems.

Track 9: Internal medicine and Healthcare

Healthcare is the maintenance or improvement of health via the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease, illness, injury, and other physical and mental impairments in human beings. The quantity and quality of many health care interventions are improved through the results of science, such as advanced through the medical model of health which focuses on the eradication of illness through diagnosis and effective treatment. Many important advances have been made through health research, including biomedical research and pharmaceutical research, which form the basis for evidence-based medicine and evidence-based practice in health care delivery.

Track 10:e Health and Internal Medicine

The reach of technological innovation continues to grow, changing all the industries as it evolves. In health, the technology is increasingly playing a role in almost all processes, from the patient registration to data monitoring, from lab tests to the self-care tools. Devices like smartphones and tablets are starting to replace the conventional monitoring and recording systems, and people are now given option for undergoing a full consultation in the privacy of their own homes. Technological advancements in healthcare have contributed to services being taken out of the confines of hospital walls and integrating them with user-friendly, accessible devices. Topics of discussions are Biotechnology in Health Care, Telemedicine, M Health and Portal technology, Bioinformatics in Health Care System, EMR and Health Informatics and Clinical Patient Management System

Track 11:Internal Medicine and Telemedicine 

Telemedicine is the use of medical information exchanged from one site to another via electronic communications to improve the patient’s clinical health status. Telemedicine includes a growing variety of applications and the services using two-wa video, email, smart phones, wireless tools and the other forms of telecommunication’s technology. Starting out over 40 years ago with demonstrations of hospitals extending care to the patients in remote areas, use of telemedicine has spread rapidly and is now becoming integrated into the on-going operations of hospitals, specialty departments, home health agencies, private physician offices as well as consumer’s homes and workplaces.  Products and services that are related to telemedicine are often part of a larger investment done by healthcare institutions in either information technology or the delivery of clinical care.

Track 12: Case Reports in Internal Medicine

In medicine, a case report is a detailed report of the patients’ symptoms, signs, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up. Case reports may contain a demographic profile of the patient, but usually describe an unusual or novel occurrence. Some case reports also contain a literature review of others reported. Case Reports do have genuinely useful roles in medical research and evidence-based medicine. In particular, they have facilitated recognition of new diseases, adverse effects of treatments. (Example: recognition of the link. They can also help understand the clinical spectrum of the rare disease, as well as unusual presentations of common disease. The case report can detail many different aspects of patient’s medical situation (e.g. patient history, physical examination, diagnosis, Psychosocial aspects, follow up)

Track 13:Internal Medicine and Pediatrics

Children are vital to the nation all the time. Parents and other family members are usually committed to providing every advantage possible to the children in their families, and to ensuring that they are healthy and have the opportunities that they need to fulfill their potential. Highlights of this session are Pediatric,Mental Health and Psychology, Pediatric Emergencies and Trauma Treatment, Gastrointestinal and Urogenital Complications in Pediatrics, Pediatric, Neurology and Research, Pediatric Hematology and Oncology, Preterm-birth Complications and Neonatal Intensive Care, General Pediatrics and Pediatric Immunology and Infectious Diseases.

Track 14:Internal Medicine and Gynecology 

Internal Medicine physicians encounter female patients with disease processes which may be directly related to female reproductive system or caused by the female reproductive system and its endocrinology. Education in evaluation, examination, diagnosis and, management of basic gynecological conditions will significantly enhance the internist’s ability to diagnose, treat a broader scope of patients.

Track 15:Internal Medicine and Epidemiology

Epidemiology is the study of the patterns and causes, effects of health and disease conditions in defined populations. Epidemiology is the cornerstone of public health, and shapes policy decisions and evidence-based practice by identifying risk factors for disease and targets for preventive healthcare. Epidemiologists help with study design, collection, and statistical analysis of data, and interpretation and dissemination of results (including peer review and occasional systematic review).Epidemiology has helped develop methodology used in clinical research, public health studies, and, to a lesser extent, basic research in the biological sciences.

Track 16:Internal Medicine and Diagnosis

Medical diagnosis is a process of determining the disease or condition. Explain the signs and symptoms. It is most often referred to as diagnosis with medical context being implicit. Information required for diagnosis is typically collected from the history and physical examination of the person seeking medical care. Often, one or more diagnostic procedures, such as diagnostic tests, are also done during this process.Diagnosis is often challenging because many signs and the symptoms are nonspecific.

Internal medicine doctors are experts who apply scientific knowledge and clinical expertise to the diagnosis, treatment, and compassionate care of adults across the spectrum from health to complex illness. Many internists enter into practice following completion of their basic internal medicine training.  These physicians practice general internal medicine and are commonly referred to as “general internists.” Some internists choose to take additional training to "subspecialize" in a more focused area of internal medicine.

 The shortage of physicians in rural and remote areas provides opportunity for internal medicine to spread its reach to millions of patients and this widespread deployment of services will continue at a rapid pace in the future as well. In the latest research study, “Global Internal Medicine Market Outlook”, the analysts have studied the completeInternal mediicine industry  with and present focus on market segmentation, government initiatives and competitive landscape.

Physician Supply and Demand Through 2025: Key Findings

Physicians face bigger challenges than ever as demand for healthcare grows, including staff shortages and burnout, adoption of new technologies, and patients demanding more convenient care. As a result, more new physicians are choosing hospital employment over independent practice. At least 25% of hospital executives said this year they still plan to purchase more physician practices.

Paris is a mature market for medical equipment, and its high per capita income and sophisticated healthcare system translate into demand for a broad range of cutting-edge medical equipment. The for medical equipment and supplies is the fourth largest in Europe following Germany, France and the UK with about 4,480 companies (including 43% distributors, 53% producers and 4% service providers) and a workforce of 68,200. The medical device market (including dental and optical devices) was valued at approximately $8.7 billion in 2015 with imports accounting for $5.8 billion and is expected to grow by 1% in 2017 after a reduction of 0.8% in 2016. Aside from medical devices, consumable products represent the largest market segment (20.6%) followed by diagnostic imaging (16.1%) and patient aids (14.7%). The Italian government is the primary purchaser of medical equipment. Public hospitals account for over 75 percent of medical device sales, with the remaining 25 percent of sales to the private sector. Despite having a considerable local manufacturing industry, the domestic market for medical equipment is highly dependent on imports. Major suppliers include Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, and the United States, which had a 6.5% share of Italian imports, valued at $378 million in 2015. Major U.S. medical device imports to Italy include diagnostic imaging, dental and patient aids.

A significant number of U.S. manufacturers of medical equipment are present in the Italian health care market (about 60 companies with 5,700 employees and $2.7 billion domestic revenue). Some U.S. suppliers maintain wholly-owned subsidiaries in Italy and sell equipment imported from the United States or from plants in other foreign countries. There are also a considerable number of U.S. companies represented by local importers and distributors. Since U.S. technology and standards are highly regarded and recognized, we believe that U.S. companies will maintain their excellent market position in the future.

Leading Sub-Sectors

Medical Devices

The strongest sales potential for U.S. manufactured medical equipment exists in the following areas:  home care equipment, remote monitoring equipment, high frequency medical lasers (for multiple applications), endoscopes and diagnostic imaging equipment non-invasive and micro-surgery devices and equipment, anesthesiology equipment, EKG, stimulators and defibrillators, ophthalmic equipment, monitoring equipment, telemedicine equipment and services.  The Italian market is receptive to high quality and technologically advanced diagnostics as well as therapeutic equipment and products.

E-Health

The European e-Health market has an estimated value of $20 billion with an annual growth of 3 percent.  Considering that the demand for healthcare products and services will rise significantly in coming years, the information technology applied to the healthcare systems is a key enabler for delivering more effective and efficient health care. In Italy the ICT expenditure in healthcare is estimated at $1.4 billion corresponding to 1.2% of the total healthcare expenditures, which is less than many other developed countries which average 2.5-3%. Following slight growth of the ICT budget in 2014, expenditures in digital health declined in 2015 and the adoption of digital instruments in healthcare remains fragmented.

 eHealth Expenditure Trends in Italy (2016-2020)

Years	Healthcare GDP %	Healthcare expenditures	eHealth expenditures %
2016	6.80	112,385	1.23
2017	6.70	113,786	1.26
2018	6.60	115,154	1.29
2019	6.50	117,469	1.32
2020	6.37	119,214	1.36

 

According to data, the Italian eHealth expenditures over the public healthcare expenditures will likely reach 1.36% in 2020. Strategic areas which will see investments over the next three years include electronic health records, cloud computing, administrative management, digital management of drugs, e-Prescription, mobile health and business intelligence and clinical governance.

Requirements

It is up to the Italian national government to issue specific regulations governing the procurement of medical equipment. Recently the healthcare procurement system has been re-organized into 33 procurements centers. Most purchases are made by public tender and are open to both domestic and foreign companies. Announcements of tenders on public procurements are available on the National Procurement Center, CONSIP.
  
Medical device regulations for EU member states are governed by the following three EU medical device directives: Active Implantable Medical Devices Directive (90/385/EEC), Medical Devices Directive (93/42/EEC) and In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Device Directive (98/79/EEC). All medical devices marketed in the EU must bear the CE mark to certify conformity with EU law.  Member States have appointed certification authorities or "notified" bodies to grant these compliance certificates.  Proposals for two new regulations intended to replace the three EU medical device directives were published by the European Commission in September 2012 and information on the current approval status of the new regulations can be found on the European Commission website.
