Health facility tagging within OSM (proposal)
This is a proposal (not yet in a wiki page) to bring together existing OSM tagging proposals, Healthsites, and standards. More work needs to be done to bring everything together including other international and local standards and methods for tagging health facilities. This needs further review.
Tracking in a google doc, but listing below for summary. Access Google spreadsheet here. Minimum tagging is the absolute bare minimum a health facility should have. Core tagging is the features that are core to having a complete set of attributes.
Schemas that were brought together:
- General OSM tagging (
standard osm) - Health amenity tagging (
old osm) - Healthcare 2.0 proposal (
healthcare 2.0) - Healthsites attribute tracking (
healthsites)
| key | value | notes | schema |
|---|---|---|---|
| amenity | <hospital, clinic, doctors> |
To keep in line with rendering and old method (also pharmacy?) | old osm |
| medical_system:western | yes | healthcare 2.0 | |
| name | <name of facility> |
standard osm | |
| health_facility:level | <level category> |
Based on four overarching levels: hospital, health centres, dispensaries and clinics, and other | blend |
health_facility:level could use a standardization table like what has been done for education levels: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/ISCED.
| key | value | notes | schema |
|---|---|---|---|
| health_facility:type | <type classification based on local classifying> |
Use type name based on local MOH categories | blend |

| operator | <name of operator> |
Name of organization operating the facility, if applicable | standard osm |
| operator:type | <public, private, religious, ngo> |
