The Internal Medicine Area at Vall d’Hebron University Hospital includes the inpatient ward and outpatient clinics, with a multidisciplinary team composed of nursing, medical, rehabilitation, social work, and administrative professionals. It is a reference unit in Catalonia and Spain for systemic autoimmune and rare diseases, and cares for patients with chronic conditions in acute exacerbation or acute illness, such as heart failure, COPD, or COVID-19. Most patients have multiple comorbidities and are medically fragile, requiring comprehensive, coordinated care focused on the patient and their family.
Organization by areas of expertise has promoted initiatives such as early detection of social risk using the Gijón scale and immediate social work intervention. Shared clinical processes with other specialties have also been developed, and the use of clinical ultrasound as a diagnostic tool has been consolidated. With this transversal and innovative approach, the area improves coordination, efficiency, and quality of patient care.
