In Italy, after an initial period of mistrust, it became clear that remote medicine can provide significant benefits for both healthcare professionals and patients. In the Local Health Unit of Modena (Emilia Romagna region, Northern Italy), great importance was placed on developing, promoting, and managing all telemedicine activities. In particular, it was decided to prioritize the activation of tele-visit services in accordance with the guidelines of the Emilia-Romagna region.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Study design: &lt;/strong&gt;This case study aims to illustrate the activities planned and developed at the Local Health Authority of Modena for the implementation of the first service of this kind, the tele-visit service for outpatients suffering from type 1 diabetes mellitus, and to analyze data from the first 12 months of activity (from May 2023 to April 2024) to share reflections on the strengths and critical points encountered.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Method: &lt;/strong&gt;For the activation of tele-visits at the Local Health Authority of Modena, a dedicated working group was established with the mandate to manage all clinical, organizational, and IT aspects.

The patients were predominantly women (67%), and the most represented age groups were 30-39 (26%) and 40-49 (21%). Half of the specialists in the Diabetology Service (9/19) participated in the initiative by providing tele-visits, most of whom were young and all of whom were women. The main issues identified through regularly scheduled meetings with professionals, to which the working group is seeking the most appropriate solutions, include poor adherence by many patients who still have doubts about this modality, the habit of many patients rescheduling appointments multiple times, a habit not diminished by this visit method, the non-uniform adherence of professionals, and uneven territorial diffusion of the service. Lastly, professionals reported various IT difficulties. Although the number of tele-visits was not high, the initiative has sparked the interest of several specialists, some of whom have already proposed activating other telemedicine services, with some even suggesting innovative new projects.
