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.
