OpenStreetMap mostly uses duck tagging, and where more “structured” approaches have been used, it was mostly a disadvantage. Typically it meant that the “main tag” became useless because of its overly inclusive meaning and every meaningful distinction moved into a “secondary” tag which could have been used just as well without the main tag. In this case, the meaning would shift to healthcare:specialty and the term “clinic” would be extended to mean any kind of facility with outpatient treatment, including even those with just a single person offering some kind of special healthcare service for some hours a week (speech therapist).
