Hospital data is shared as ODGL.
Can we have a challenge in maproulette ?

I have Checked the hospital data of data.gov.in file and observed it needs cleaning before we add this information to the OSM.

I found it has around 30k of hospitals records:

Observation on Position Accuracy:
The position accuracy for the available hospital records is very poor and most of the Hospitals are falling more than 200mts away from the original position but this data has good quality of other information like email, contact information, website, type of services etc… which will be more valuable for OpenStreetMap and disaster rescue team across India.

We can add this information to OSM If we get support from the local Community for the position accuracy of the respected hospital.

Example for the Poor Position Accuracy : (more than 200mts )

image

Found many of the geo coordinates which are falling outside of india: Examples: negative coordinates

image

Identified few instances where multiple hospital records are falling on the same coordinates which is obviously not the actual position but we can rectify this issue with local knowledge or by implementing the reverse geocoding.

There are few records which have better position accuracy with respect of Existing OSM data and these can be updated to OSM using the conflation.

OSM Hospital Keys:

Here is the probable tagging scheme which can be used to improve the data of health facility in OSM-India.

Here are the keys which are following OSM Compatibility :

Government Attributes OSM Key
District addr:district
Hospital_Care_Type amenity
Address_Original_First_Line addr:full
Pincode addr:postcode
State addr:state
Hospital_Primary_Email_Id contact:email
Mobile_Number contact:mobile
Emergency_Services emergency_telephone_code
Hospital_Fax fax
Hospital_Name name
Hospital_Category operator:type
Telephone phone
Website website

These are the proposed keys for the Hospital data:

Government Attributes Proposed OSM Key
Discipline_Systems_of_Medicine medical_system
Facilities health_facility:type
Specialties healthcare:speciality
Emergency_Num emergency_telephone_code=*
Tollfree contact:tollfree_line=*
Helpline contact:helpline=*
Hospital_Secondary_Email_Id contact:alt_email=*
Number_Private_Wards capacity:rooms=  (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:capacity)

Need Clarification:
Few of the values of the health specialties are exceeding the char limit in OSM (225char). In that case can we replace the value with “multi-speciality” or do we need to retain with only the major treatments?

Please share your thoughts and suggestions on OSM tagging (India Specific Tagging) for the health facility so that we can add this information into OSM .

Hi All,

Please find the tagging schema for the above Hospital data sets.

1. These tags indicates the general tags

2. These tags represents the main facility or function of the healthcare:

3. Tagging for the Facility and Specialty of the healthcare:

4. Records Excluded from the Data-set:

Please Share you thoughts on the Tagging scheme.

Thank You
Happy Mapping.
