[talk-ph] Cebu health facilities
Hello I am new to this group. I am currently personlly surveying health facilities in the Cebu, Mandaue and Consolacion area of Cebu Province for my own needs. I am a newbie at adding points to the database. I have come across some of the following different types of places both public and private: 1. Doctor offices 2. Dental offices 3. Optometrists 4. Private clinics with and without emergency facilities 5. Public clinics with and without emergency facilities 6. Hospitals 7. Treatment centers 8. Birthing Centers 9. Diagnostic test centers 10. Health care training facilities and schools I am sure this is not an exhaustive list. What I need to know is how should each be identified on the map. What codes should I use to enter each one. I have only been using the simplest methods so far but I think it is important to differentiate to help the user find what they need. I would like to discuss this with someone very knowledgeable in this area before starting to enter the data. Please contact me here.

Re: [talk-ph] Cebu health facilities
Hi Marion, I usually just search in the search box of wiki.openstreetmap.org when I don't know a tag. doctors leads to : amenity=doctors Dental to : amenity=dentist Optometrists to : shop=optician ... browsing the map_features page can also give ideas http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Features Also keep in mind that pois are sometimes already there on areas or buildings, and do not always need to be on nodes.

Re: [talk-ph] Cebu health facilities
Hi Marion I'm no expert either, but generally the OSM wiki is a good place to start: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dhospital It gives useful guidelines like Hospital is bigger than Clinic. Clinic is bigger than Doctor, and it also answers your query about emergency services: amenity=clinic name=Cebu Wellness Center emergency=yes|no You should be able to get most of the info from there. At the end of the day, OSM is a consensus of users, so if you feel strongly that other tags should be used, or don't fit your needs, then you can argue your case on the mailing lists.
