Healthcare tags

There is a healthcare proposal for OSM that should be considered. If Kibera's health features followed the proposal, they could look like the following:

currently in Kiberahealthcare proposal best-fitnotes
amenity=pharmacy
health_facility:type=herbalist
healthcare=healer
speciality=herbalism
amenity=pharmacy
dispensing=no
health_facility:type=chemist_over_the_counter
shop=pharmacy
dispensing=no
current proposal doesn't specify dispensing=*
amenity=pharmacy
dispensing=yes
health_facility:type=chemist_over_the_counter
shop=pharmacy
dispensing=yes
current proposal doesn't specify dispensing=*
amenity=hospital
health_facility:type=vct_center
healthcare=yes
speciality=venereology
current proposal doesn't talk much about testing, let alone with the nuance embodied in health_facility:type=vct_center. could suggest healthcare=vct_center
amenity=dentist
health_facility:type=dental_clinic
healthcare=dentist
is this specific enough?
amenity=public_building
health_facility:type=health_programme
healthcare=yes
speciality=community
perhaps something like healthcare=support could be of use?
health_facility:type=training_institution
healthcare=yes
speciality=community
perhaps something like healthcare=training could be of use? or is this pushing healthcare=*?
amenity=public_building
health_facility:type=rehabilitation_center
depends for drugs, speciality=pharmacology might work. maybe healthcare=rehabilitation could be the root? for physical rehab, speciality=physiotherapy would do.
amenity=hospital
health_facility:type=health_center
healthcare=polyclinic
not sure about the nuances of health_facility:type=health_center
amenity=hospital
health_facility:type=medical_clinic
healthcare=polyclinic
amenity=hospital
health_facility:type=nursing_home_with_maternity
healthcare=yes
speciality=gynaecology
this would work, but it doesn't seem to capture the 'home' part very well. the only other option in the proposal seems to be healthcare=midwife
health_facility:type=laboratory
healthcare=yes
speciality=immunology
this is open to bit of interpretation. should there be a root healthcare=laboratory?


First Review

User:Mikel reviewed health related tags on March 21, and uploaded changes to http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/4187666

Pre-existing Tags

These are all the health related tags.

  • amenity=pharmacy
  • amenity=hospital
  • dispensing=clinic
  • dispensing=yes
  • shop=chemist
  • dispensing=chemist
  • notes=clinic
  • dispensing=Chemist
  • notes=Chemist
  • operator=Amref
  • notes=Clinic
  • notes=this is a laboratory mainly serving the senye clinic in soweto west
  • note=also clinic and school
  • dispensing=*
  • amenity=doctors
  • NOTES=CLINIC
  • Health=*
  • FIXME=this is a laboratory mainly serving the senye clinic in soweto west

fixes

  • fix capitalization
  • removed dispensing=clinic/chemist/Chemist. only yes/no is valid value
  • removed erratic tags that did not apply
  • unifying to note=* and fixme=* from all capitalization and plural variants
  • removed Health=*
  • where clear, removed duplicates. otherwise added fixme to disambiguate.

thoughts

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Healthcare proposes some distinguish features between services

Second review

User:Ebrelsford reviewed health-related tags in August 2010 and made some changes.

Made features visible in main OSM rendering

  • Added amenity=pharmacy to
    • health_facility:type=herbalist
    • health_facility:type=chemist_over_the_counter
  • Added amenity=hospital to health_facility:type=vct_center
  • Added amenity=dentist to health_facility:type=dental_clinic

Types that still need rendering

  • health_facility:type=health_programme
  • health_facility:type=training_institution
  • health_facility:type=rehabilitation_center
  • health_facility:type=other (eg, Paolo's Home, described as a "Physiotherapy and Psychotherapy Home")

General rendering fixes

  • Broke a few nodes up to avoid overlapping tags:
    • Holy Trinity Church separated into a dental clinic
    • Kibera Community Youth Programme Computer School separated into a health_programme
  • Broke nodes off of ways (health facilities as part of roads or trails)
  • Removed obvious duplicates

Chemists

  • Added dispensing=yes for health_facility:type=chemist_dispensing, dispensing=no for health_facility:type=chemist_over_the_counter
  • Added health_facility:type={chemist_dispensing,chemist_over_the_counter} to appropriate features with amenity=pharmacy

Still need fixing

  • Some features have conflicting tags that make it unclear whether they are clinics, hospitals, or pharmacies.
    • fixme=chemist or hospital?
  • Some features still look suspiciously like duplicates, but it's hard to tell from here
    • fixme=duplicate?
