Description:
Abstract:
This dataset contains 2009 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 Surgicenter/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. Please Note: Hospitals are no longer located in the GC_HEALTH_JUL09 layer, instead hospital locations can be found in the GC_HOSPITAL_APR09 layer. This dataset is an update the FGDL layer GC_HEALTH_SEP05.
Purpose:
The data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems for a variety of planning and analytical purposes.

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 downloaded this data and exported a subset of the .dbf / Attribute Table. The subset included: ABORTION CLINIC DIALYSIS CLINIC MEDICAL DOCTOR (with Clinic, Medical Center, or Health Center in the name) NURSING HOME OSTEOPATH (with Clinic in the name) STATE LABORATORY/CLINIC SURGICENTER/WALK-IN CLINIC
The dbf was then geocoded against Teleatlas Roads 2009 and converted into a shapefile with the FGDL Albers HPGN map projection. (See "Map Projection Parameters" below).
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, SERVICES, COMMON_USE USE, YR_BUILT, FGDLAQDATE.

Resource_Description: DOWNLOADABLE DATA
Distribution_Liability:
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: <http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html>
