My concern in this case was one of process. The healthcare proposal is
listed as "Post-Vote" or something like that. A year (since the close
of voting) seemed like a long time to do cleanup, so I wondered if the
proposal had actually dead-ended.
I guess that you're referring to this page:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Healthcare
I wouldn't worry too much about voting. The OSM wiki is unfortunately
the target of a small number of people who take great delight in telling
other people how and what to map, but don't actually do much mapping
themselves.
The strength of OSM is that you're actually encouraged to use whatever
tags you like; you don't have to wait for "approval". Of course, it
makes sense to try and use the same tags as other people for the same
thing (so asking here or the help site is exactly the right thing to do).
In the case of "physiotherapy", typing that and physiotherapist into
taginfo gives a selection of keys:
http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search?q=physiotherapy#keys
http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search?q=physiotherapist#keys
and values:
http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search?q=physiotherapy#values
http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search?q=physiotherapist#values
I'd have a look through those and see what seems the best fit to you.
In the case of "healthcare=physiotherapist" relatively few have been
tagged so far so you can use taginfo's XAPI link to download an XML file
to see what else these items have been tagged with:
http://overpass-api.de/api/xapi_meta?*[healthcare%3Dphysiotherapist]
Cheers,
Andy.
