A retrospective observational study was conducted using electronic medical record data

Heart failure is associated with high incidence and mortality rates, limited physical activity, decreased quality of life, and increased healthcare expenses. Implementing a Telehealth Care (TC) HF program could address these challenges while improving patient outcomes.

Telemonitoring for heart failure patients reduces all-cause and cardiovascular mortality by enabling early intervention during clinical deterioration, improving outcomes even for those recently discharged. Moreover, a reduction in the percentage of days lost due to unplanned cardiovascular hospital admissions is evident. Furthermore, the rapid expansion of telehealth care and telemedicine services during the COVID-19 pandemic optimized the management and care quality of heart failure patients through telemonitoring .

Inclusion Criteria:

A list of ward visits was obtained based on the first three digits of the International Classification of Diseases 10th edition diagnosis codes; the ICD-10 code I50 was applied for selection.
