Welcome, Doctors;

This web site was designed by doctors, not only for patients, but also for other doctors. On this site we can upload urgent-care patient information to secure databases where they can be retrieved by any computer connected to the Internet with the use of passwords and user IDs over a 128 bit secured connection.

Doctors, you will want your patients to be a part of this site because we will be able to provide them with breaking news along with other frequent updates from research regarding cardiology and other educational medical information. On this HHHF site, we can post patients' urgent-care medical information and history including their cardiac interventions, medications, past echocardiograms, cholesterol levels, blood type and any other significant urgent-care medical information or treatment information either the patients or their doctors want to post in their own private files.

A patient or anyone a patient authorizes can review this information at anytime with a User ID and password from any computer in the world that is connected to the Internet. The HHHF database will run on the world's best, state-of-the art, encrypted software and hardware which will afford total patient privacy while making patient files available to them, their doctors, or other health care professionals anywhere in the world both simply and quickly.

Having this information available on-line could save a patient's life. Patients know their own bodies better than anyone. When patients get involved in their own treatment, their outcomes are almost always significantly better. Why? Because patients have information about themselves only they could know. They understand their histories and remember details about themselves that doctors simply cannot. Patients know their symptoms and know which combinations of medications work best for them. Today, the cardiac patient that works in concert with his or her cardiologist has a much greater chance of living a quality life for a longer period of time. Today, millions of well informed cardiac patients are directing not only the drugs that they take, but also the stent that holds their artery open, and the pacemaker that they have implanted.

On this site, we will help inform your patients about cardiology conditions and procedures, medications, and implant devices, so they can assist in making educated decisions for themselves, or maybe help family or friends make these decisions.

Please feel free to contact us via email or through any of the other interactive formats throughout the HHHF site. We welcome your input as we progress with our web site.

Sincerely,

Dr. Paul A. Slota
