PS: waiting for the first posts requiring that the absence of
equipment is taggable.
well spotted, there clearly is a gap, as we can tag the absence of
professionals, e.g. capacity:doctors=0 (not in use, but would be a
standard way) or staff_count:doctors=0 or doctors_num=0 (both keys
have several hundred uses, and for doctors_num 0 and 00 are half of
all used values, while for staff_count:doctors the values 0 and 0.0
are even accounting for two thirds of all values (65%), so this
actually IS of concern to mappers.
Usually with "health services" the problem is that their is an
indication of something, where there is no usable presence.
Usually the equipment is either broken down or there is no trained
operator .. so tag it disused:healthcare:equipment=MRI
Sometimes the politicians promise it, tag that as
proposed:healthcare:equipment=MRI, start_date 2132
Similar tagging can be used for the hospitals themselves.
I know of one local hospital that I would refuse to go to, and the
ambulances also try to go elsewhere for their patients safety!
Another more distant hospital where the registrar took a few hours on a
plane flight to have his broken leg attended to at another hospital. Of
course he did not tell the air crew, it was a normal commercial flight.
