The current retrospective cohort study uses Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) clinical and facility data of Veterans with heart failure enrolled in the VA Home Tele-health (HT) Program.

Most HT patients were White, male, and of older age (mean = 71 years). Average adherence increased the longer patients remained in the HT program.
