Internal Medicine, General Medicine Conference-IPSC 2026

Multimorbidity—when patients have multiple chronic conditions at the same time—is a universal challenge in internal medicine. Diabetes, heart failure, COPD, and depression tend to overlap, making treatment choices more difficult. Internists are best able to provide patient-centered care by focusing on health objectives, minimizing polypharmacy threats, and coordinating among specialties.

Comprehensive models of care focus on communication, lifestyle change, and prevention to enhance the quality of life of patients. Integrated electronic health records and web-based platforms enable physicians to simplify cumbersome treatment regimens and maintain continuity of care.

By adhering to patient priorities, internal medicine improves functional independence and avoids unnecessary hospitalizations. Precision medicine and real-time data analytics are the future of multimorbidity management, customizing care for high-complexity patients.
