- Abstract:
-
This dataset contains 2014 Health Care Facility Information for the State of Florida. It is a combination of health care facilities (Abortion Clinic, Dialysis Clinic, Medical Doctor, Nursing Home, Osteopath, State Laboratory/Clinic, and Surgical Center/Walk-In Clinic) from the Florida Department of Health. The data contains selected fields denoting the name, physical address, and other facility information for health care facilities located in Florida. This data is meant to be used for planning purposes only and is not intended to represent a 100% inventory of Health Care in Florida. Health Care Facility locations that have been verified are marked with the letter V in the FLAG field. Please Note: Hospitals are no longer located in the GC_HEALTH_AUG14 layer, instead hospital locations can be found in the GC_HOSPITALS_FEB13 layer. This dataset is an update the FGDL layer GC_HEALTH_JUL09.
- Purpose:
-
The data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems for
a variety of planning and analytical purposes.

********************************************************************************
Please Note: The following point data represents only Geocoded features, these
points HAVE NOT been validated via QAQC methods such as aerials or Google Street View.
Records that have been marked with a FLAG = V are locations that have geocoded to a
parcel's centroid, based on the parcels physical address.
********************************************************************************
Please Note: Duplicate address points may exist where more than one
health care function occurs.
********************************************************************************
What is Geocoding?
Geocoding is term used to describe the act of address matching. Geocoding
is the process of finding a geographic location (x, y point) for an address
(such as street number and name, city, state, and ZIP Code) on a map.
Geocoding is based off the typical address scheme for the US, in which one
side of the street contains even house numbers while the other side of the
street contains odd house numbers.
The geocoding process uses an algorithm to find the geographic location
of addresses. First, a street segment is identified using the zip code and
street name. Next, the geographic location of the address is matched using
the building number to determine how far down the street and on which side
of the street the building is located.
Geocoding Accuracy
The locational accuracy of geocoded addresses may vary from urban to rural
areas due to the algorithm used to generate the geographic locations of
addresses. The algorithm assumes that the size of parcels are equivalent
along a road route. This assumption tends to be more consistent in urban
areas, where the size of parcels vary less than in rural areas.
Consequently, the results of geocoded addresses in urban areas are usually
more reliable than those in rural areas.
For example, the locational accuracy of rural addresses can be slightly
off because some parcels along a rural route may be 15 acres while others
may be 2.5 acres, but the geocoding algorithm assumes that the addresses
are distributed evenly along the route.

GeoPlan Center Process Steps:
Health Care Facilities were obtained from the following Florida Department of Health website
on January 27th, 2016:
<http://www.floridahealth.gov/environmental-health/gis/gis-data.html>
<http://www.floridahealth.gov/environmental-health/gis/_documents/biomedical-waste.zip>

Point
RECORD COUNT = 40717
20140812
Projection: WGS84
******************************
GeoPlan downloaded this data and exported a subset of the .dbf / Attribute Table.
The subset included:
ABORTION CLINIC
DIALYSIS CLINIC
MEDICAL DOCTOR
NURSING HOME
OSTEOPATH
STATE LABORATORY/CLINIC
SURGICAL CENTER/WALK-IN CLINIC
The .dbf was then geocoded against a combination address locator,
derived from parcel centroids and street centerlines, and converted into
a shapefile with the FGDL Albers HPGN map projection.
Please Note: The following point data represents only Geocoded features, these
points HAVE NOT been validated via QAQC methods such as aerials or Google Street View.
Records that have been marked with a FLAG = V are locations that have geocoded to a
parcel's centroid, based on the parcels physical address.
Next GeoPlan Center performed the following attribute table adjustments.
-Upper cased all records.
-Added DESCRIPT field based on NAME
-Socio-Cultural Effect data fields and definitions were added.
FLAG, UPDATE_DAY, NAME, ADDRESS, CITY,
ZIPCODE, OPERATING, OP_CLASS, FGDLAQDATE.

The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data
compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from
the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is
collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources)
who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in
FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the
data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees
about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check
with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist.
Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'.
The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties
or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data
provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center
makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability
of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited
to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular
purpose, or non-infringement. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center
shall not be liable for any damages suffered as a result of using,
modifying, contributing or distributing the materials.
A note about data scale:
Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets
are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes.
Please be sure you are using the best available data.
1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
county level.
1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such
as property parcel boundaries.
1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
multi-county or regional level.
1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
regional or state level or larger.
Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be
considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data
before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been
made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional
information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact
section of this documentation. For more information regarding
scale and accuracy, see our webpage at:
