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.

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: Doctor offices Dental offices OptometristsPrivate clinics with and without emergency facilities Public clinics with and without emergency facilitiesHospitalsTreatment centersBirthing Centers Diagnostic test centers 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.
