Delivering Geospatial Intelligence to Health Care Providers

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Overweight

In brief

Physician counseling for physical activity, dental services, and academic support services such as tutoring could be improved through physician knowledge of local community resources and physician counseling directing patients to such services that are near the patient's residential address. This study will test the hypothesis that an electronic medical record enhanced with geographic information systems can improved physician counseling for physical activity, dental services, and academic support services by identifying services that are near the patient's residential address and informing MD's of such info at the point of care.
