Telemedicine in practice Italy

In Italy, telemedicine is increasingly supporting frontline professionals in making confident clinical decisions. When an older patient’s condition raises concern, nurses can initiate remote consultations with specialists, ensuring that expertise is available without delay. This collaborative approach reduces unnecessary emergency department transfers while maintaining patient safety. Beyond efficiency, it preserves continuity and dignity in care for older adults. Insights from these practices contribute to the transnational collaboration developed through ARMS4Elderly.
