What is SCOPE?
A children and family resource desk in the waiting room of the UCLA pediatric clinic.
A repository of health and social resources easily accessible by patients, their families, physicians and medical staff.

How did SCOPE come about?
It is well known that a connection exists between a child’s environment and his/her health.**
To improve the health and well-being of children, parents and families must have access to social and community services.
Pediatric residents identified need for centralized center of information and resources for the families of their patients.
In response to need, medical, graduate and undergraduate students established SCOPE Child and Family Resource Center at UCLA in July 2003.

How volunteers address needs
Volunteers are educated and become knowledgeable about SCOPE resources.
Every SCOPE client must complete an Intake Form, noting and finding information requested.
Information requested is immediately given to the client or mailed if forget to pick it up.
Clients are followed-up by volunteers to see if they used resources and to see how things are going.

Pediatric resident responses to SCOPE survey
Overall…
It would reduce their level of stress and improve their sense of effectiveness in the clinic.

Conclusions
Although pediatric residents are skilled at handling medical problems of children, they may not be confident enough to provide other valuable community resources that could impact a child’s health.
SCOPE has proven to be valuable in bridging the gap between pediatric residents’ delivery of medical care and lack of knowledge of social/community resources.

Next Steps
Continue physician and medical staff education about SCOPE.
New Intake FormNew Follow-up Form
Expand SCOPE into the community, as well as its range of resources, where we plan to focus on physical fitness and nutrition resources for children and families.
