“Today we presented the results of a research conducted in collaboration with the APMARR association on a sample of 450 patients suffering from rheumatic diseases, to understand where we are with integrated territorial assistance. There are evident shortcomings and an integrated system from a territorial point of view is needed which, thanks to telemedicine, electronic instruments and more, can facilitate the patient to be the protagonist of his or her care path “. This was stated by Guendalina Graffigna, Full Professor of the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart and Director of EngageMinds HUB, on the sidelines of the conference organized by Apmarr.
