# Advanced Area Of Service The advanced feature of Area Of Service enables users to determine an area in which services are being offered. It also helps in visualizing the records that lie in that area. In the case of a Doctor, the Area Of Service helps in determining the region in which the doctor is operating or offering his services. Patient records falling under this service region can also be visualized. Similarly, from a Patient’s POV, he can visualize all the doctors that offer services or whose services fall in his area. This helps the patient in selecting the nearest available doctor and the doctor can check the patients falling in his area of work. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
