which compared the IMUs in 2013 and 2016&#46; Although data on the indicators studied in the RECALMIN project have been distributed based on hospital size&#44; we can say that&#44; in general&#44; the mean number of internists per unit is 14&#44; that each internist conducts an average of 239 discharges annually and that the mean stay per discharge episode is 8 days&#46; Sixty-one percent of IMUs implemented an interconsultation unit that dealt with an estimated 800 interconsultations annually&#44; with a mean of 1&#46;7 physicians dedicated to this activity&#46; In terms of outpatient activity&#44; the average number of first consultations was 2000&#44; with a successive&#47;first ratio of 3&#46;6&#46; RECALMIN also laid out lines that should be improved in the future&#46; For example&#44; only 41&#37; of the units had implemented a systematic care program for complex chronic patients&#44; with a population coverage of 56&#37;&#46;

not only for the heads of IMUs but also for healthcare providers&#46;</p><p id="par0050" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The RECALMIN study also created an indicator&#44; the internal medicine weighted activity index &#40;IMWAI&#41;&#44;
