MLB instituting new medical records systemMajor League Baseball has joined up with the National Hockey League, the WTA, and the Canadian Football League as professional sports leagues embracing Electronic Medical Records systems. The MLB deployment will allow a unified medical records system for all thirty organizations, including all teams within the organization. Thus, when a player is traded from one team to another within an organization; or traded from one club to another, the medical record will be moved and integrity maintained.
"What makes it new and exciting to those of us in the field is the continuity of care," Conte said. "I've always said the medical department is not the baseball department. When a player comes to your team, you're responsible for them and their medical care."
For years, Conte and other members of the Professional Baseball Athletic Trainers Society (PBATS) lobbied for a system that would make that job more efficient. After all, waiting 2-3 days for medical records following a trade or having too many hurdles trying to keep tabs on the hundreds of players in their own organizations was so ... Y2K.
In the span of a little more than a year, their wish was granted. Starting this Spring Training, baseball's trainers and doctors have a new tool at their disposal that eventually will provide an encyclopedia of knowledge on every professional player. It's much like one being used in the National Hockey League the last three seasons, and like the NHL one designed by SuttonMed Systems, but customized to fit baseball's specific injury dynamic.

Rod Compton, former Head Athletic Trainer at East Carolina University
I was saddened to recently hear of the passing of Rod Compton. Rod was legendary when I was in college, as Appalachian battled East Carolina back in the old Southern Conference. During those days, Rod was such a pillar of Athletic Training education. His shadow is so great.
GREENVILLE, NC: A funeral service for Rod Compton, 62, of Greenville, NC was held February 22, 2010 in Ohio. Rod passed away in Greenville, NC on February 12, 2010. He was born May 19, 1947, in Newark, Ohio to the late Clayton M. and Dorothy R. (Anspach) Compton.
Rod graduated from Newark High School in 1965 and was considered Newark High School's first student athletic trainer. He was given credit for what is now the Newark Athletic Training position at NHS. Rod was inducted into the Newark High School Hall of Fame in 2008. Rod was a gruduate of Ohio University and Bowling Green University. Rod had been employed by East Carolina University as an Assistant Professor and Program Director of Safety and First Aid Education since 1970. He had done much research and publishing on topics of Sports Medicine and Athletic Training and had been the recipient of many honors including the Pioneer in Athletic Training Award (North Carolina Athletic Trainer's Association), the Sayers J. Miller, Jr. Distinguished Athletic Training Educator Award (National Athletic Trainers' Association) and the award of Appreciation for Service as Editor-In-Chief of Athletic Training, The Journal of the National Athletic Trainers' Association 1972-1979.
