Its important to keep information that is important. I looked into a company called Nortec EHR but they are for physicans. I spoke to one of the reps and he was very aware of what's going on in government and how healthcare is changing for both the good and bad. if your interested visit www.nortecehr.com I agree as well.

My son's ice hockey team could use this to their advantage. I have a HealthVault account for him and use it regularly to reference all of his important healthcare information. There's also the ability to track fitness records, so he can use it to record what he's doing when he is training. The multiple usages are endless. I completely agree.

I wanted to share a piece of advice for those who are on the look out for a good pair of sports shoes but are on a tight budget. Make sure you buy original shoes and avoid going in for imitations as these will give way in the long run and will not provide you the comfort and flexibility that an original shoe will offer. You can get great deals in many online stores offering discounts on genuine shoes and can buy them well within your budget without going in for cheap imitations. It’s always a good idea to spend a little more though and get the right shoes and experience the true comfort for which the shoe is designed. Good to know information.

]]> Comment on Cost Containment in College Athletics by Ross Bailey http://blog.rodwalters.com/?p=1&cpage=1#comment-4 Ross Bailey Mon, 20 Apr 2009 13:26:29 +0000 http://h180784wp.setupmyblog.com/?p=1#comment-4 Rod - I could not agree more with you on the cost containment issues. We have seen a virtual elimination of the "off season" for sports at the D 1 level. This requires not only more supplies and man hours, but further increases the number of "exposures" for our student athletes to get injured and potentially require surgeries. The addition of freshman to the mix in the summer before classes begin in the sports of football and basketball might be good for academics, but they further add to the cost of operations. We must all work to create our own preferred provider groups and work to contain costs. The NCAA and the Board of Directors opened the door to extended medical coverage. We try to limit our coverage to athletically related injuries and illness only but even at that, the costs of insurance and out of pocket expenses would fund a lot of athletic teams. We should never cut coverage or care for the student athletes but I think we are seeing the trickle down effect of the total costs of intercollegiate athletics currently with sport and staff reductions at many institutions.
