This match is scheduled for 4 rounds.Lets get Ready to Ruuuummmbllllllllleeee.

Ding Ding.

Round 1 Appearance/Location

Each fitness club looks modern and up to date. For the locations in Thailand, California Fitness is in downtown, highly populated locations. This helps to give California a better name as far as word of mouth travels. Fitness First is in locations which are more on the outskirts of downtown Bangkok. Not as High Class as California. This means two things really. Highly populated locations, means crowed facilities. Having to wait for weights, or benches, or machines is never fun. So really Round 1 is Socializing Crowd Vs. Comfort. For Me, that gives Round 1 to Fitness First, though the Socialites will score it differently. Fitness first also had a nice said of giveaways with membership; nice bag, water bottle, t-shirts.

Round 2 Locker rooms

Each Fitness center has nice locker rooms. More or less, there are adequate amounts of lockers and showers available. Steam rooms and Saunas are also available at both Fitness Clubs, although steam rooms are not available at every California Fitness branch. At Fitness First, each locker has keys in them. If a locker is available, the key will be there in a similar fashion to pay lockers at bus terminals and theme parks, although they are free. At California you have to buy a lock and bring it with you. If you forget the lock, or the key to the lock, you have to either put you clothes in a locker with not lock, or buy a new lock at California Fitness prices. California Fitness however, does offer towels, both shower towel, and hand towels where as Fitness First does not. Not having to worry about towels is nice. Round 2 is a tie for me. Each has there advantages and disadvantages.

Round 3 Memberships

Each fitness center can be considered expensive. There are first time membership fees, and then of course monthly payments with a 1 year contract. Depending on your ability to be sold, and/or haggle for a good price, the initial membership fees can be really high (US$300 THREE HUNDRED asked), to reasonable (US$25 TWENTY FIVE paid). That is simple though, and that is how Fitness First is. California was not as simple. California has a wide variety of membership colors; Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond. Of course each has different prices associated, but what all that means is, with a lower level of membership, you are limited to what days you can work out on. Certain number of days per week, and Fitness location limitations are put on each card. This is not to bad for those with a strict schedule, who will work out on the same time and same day and same location each time for that year, but for those whos schedule may vary, and for those who travel to other parts of town, let alone other countries, this can be a true limitation. Fitness first has two member ships, with only different payment schedules. And although their monthly payment is a bit higher (US$5 / month), there is complete freedom as to which day, time, location, and country you choose to work out in. Round 3 saw a strong Fitness First battling back.

Round 4 Equipment

Really, this is what it all boils down to. How is they equipment at the gym. That is why you are there, to exercise. As far as machines and free weights go, I would say Fitness First and California both have adequate supplies and space, though this goes back to round one, and how crowded the gyms are. Each fitness center does have the extras though. Rooms for Aerobics, Yoga, Body Combat, Cycling, etc. Though California offers a slightly better selection of aerobic and body combat classes for free, California has the cycling and yoga classes for additional fees, where as each class is free at Fitness First. Round 4 goes to Fitness First.

Decision

In the battle between the 2 great Heavy Weight Fitness Centers, There is a split decision. Over all they are close, but at the Heavy Weight Fitness centers like these, you expect more than the light weights, and for that reason, all of the extras matter. And when taking all of the extras into consideration, California seems more about Face than Fitness. So for those looking to socialize, California would be your choice. But for the Fitness of it, the Winner of this hard fought Battle is Fitness First.

Health records refer to the information stored about patients. It is a normal practice to maintain patient records in detail that includes patient history and other useful information. The record of past ailments, treatment, allergies, general health condition of the patient and so on is maintained by the doctor. These records serve as a base for treatment in case of any ailment in future. As of now the records were maintained manually by each concerned doctor and hospital. However, a new system called electronic health records (ehr) has been introduced by many IT companies for the healthcare industry.

The age old manual system of maintaining patient records is very tedious and time consuming. The manual process carries a large number of flaws at first the information can not be maintained in greater depths. There is always an element of error involved in the manual process. Incorrect information may prove to be fatal in the process of treatment. The biggest disadvantage of the manual process is that the information or the records are not centralized. At times of emergency the records are not available to the concerned doctor as there is lack of centralization. There seems to be an answer to the problem by way of electronic health records (ehr).

An electronic health record (ehr) is a process of maintaining the patient records electronically or in a digital format. The digitization of the health records helps to overcome the problems associated with the manual process of maintaining the records. At first it helps in saving a lot of time, detailed information can be maintained, reduction in errors, reduction in costs, improved quality of service and patient safety. The biggest advantage with the system is that the information can be centralized, which can be utilized at any point of time including emergencies.

Just like any new approach to doing things, electronic health records (EHR) has its advantages and disadvantages. At first it is a normal practice that people usually resist to changes, the same applies to the implementation of electronic health records. There are other requirements such as initial cost of implementation, training, and concerns about information safety due to its centralization. However, for sure the advantage of ehr outweighs the disadvantages associated with it.

The present US administration has made it a priority to move ahead with centralizing and putting patients’ medical record in digital format. A huge chunk of the economic recovery stimulus package has been earmarked for this project. It is hoped that when all is said and done, electronic medical records, a better way to keep records than pen and paper will be the order of the day.

There is a pressing need to understand elderly health care needs because today these needs are a lot different than was the case a century ago. Today, old age is a major reason for deaths in the US and in fact just in the nineties, the major causes for deaths in the US were heart diseases as well as cancer, and strokes – which together accounted for almost two-thirds of all deaths amongst Americans aged sixty-five or older.

Cannot Cope

In fact, experts reckon that modern society has been unable to cope with elderly health care needs and so swift and effective action needs to be taken on this account. The sad truth is that elderly people in the US are very prone to contracting chronic diseases that will have the cumulative effect of impairing the ability of such elders to do their everyday tasks normally and routinely.

There are many statistics that point out the seriousness of the situation that in turn highlight how important is the need to address elderly health care needs. For example, in the early nineties, the elderly that suffered from chronic ailments were about thirty-nine percent.

These percentages should help concerned authorities understand that elderly health care needs are such that if left untended or untreated there would be greater numbers of deaths among the aged; or at the very least, it would mean that the elderly would require urgent medical aid if they are to survive whatever ails them.

One of the most pressing of all elderly health care needs is getting home care. For those seniors that are disabled their whole lives will depend on the type of care they are provided. What’s more, since the lifespan of women has grown they form a greater proportion of the elderly and in fact they also form a large part of all single households. This in turn means that elderly health care needs for women are quite different as compared with those of the male population.

However, at the same time as more and more elderly are need of health care there has been a sharp decline in the numbers of caregivers and this in turn has led to about eighty percent of elderly health care needs being provided by relatives (mostly, women) and furthermore, the type of such care given to the elderly depends to a great extent on the goodwill of the family members that are doubling as caregivers.

To ensure that people are able to enjoy better health it is important that they pay close attention to what health care provider’s advice them to do. After all, if you are going through the trouble of visiting a person to get health care it only stands to reason that you pay heed to the advice they give you.
