Abstract:

This dataset contains 2005 Health Care Facility Information for the State of Florida including 2005 Red Cross facilities and 2005 Ophthalmology facilities. Health Care Facility addresses were gathered from the Florida Department of Health Care, Super Pages Online, and Yellow Pages Online. This dataset contains fields denoting the physical address, type, and contact information for health care facilities located in Florida.

Purpose:

The data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems for a variety of planning and analytical purposes.

A note about data scale:

Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modelling 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>

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data.

Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:

Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:

This dataset is a combination of health care facility addresses from the FDHC Website online.

Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:

Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:

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.

Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:

Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:

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.

Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:

Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:

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.

Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:

Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:

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.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Health Care Facility locations were obtained from the FDHC Website in 2005. GeoPlan downloaded this data in an excel format and converted it to a dbf. The dbf was then geocoded against ARC Logistics Route GDT Roads and converted into a shapefile with the FGDL Albers HPGN map projection.

Process Steps for FDHC Health Care Facility Locations:

-Downloaded Excel spreadsheet from the following FDHC website: <http://fdhc.state.fl.us/MCHQ/Long_Term_Care/FDAU/Reports.shtml> -The information downloaded was then reformated to a Database File Format. The addresses were geocoded against ARC Logistics Route GDT Roads Shapefile created using FGDL Albers HPGN map projection.

Process Steps for Yellow Pages American Red Cross Oriented Locations:

-Searched for American Red Cross oriented addresses in www.yellowpages.com -Selected American Red Cross oriented addresses under following name:

American Red Cross -(78)

Process Steps for Super Pages American Red Cross Oriented Locations:

-Searched for American Red Cross oriented addresses in www.superpages.com -Selected American Red Cross oriented addresses under following name:

American Red Cross -(110)

Process Steps for Super Pages Eye Care Center Locations:

-Searched for Ophthalmology addresses in <http://www.superpages.com/> -Selected Ophthalmology addresses under following categories: Health & Medicine, Physicians & Surgeons, Ophthalmology (2890)

Process Steps for Yellow Pages Eye Care Center Locations:

-Searched for eye care addresses in <http://www.yellowpages.com> -Selected eye care addresses under following categories: Eye Care (Ophthalmologists & Optometrists) Ophthalmologists (284)

-Selected All Attributes in the shapefile and then perfomed a Select by Location function, 'Removed from Selection' Yellow Pages Eye Care Centers that 'Intersect' Super Pages Eye Care Centers. Exported Selection and merged with Super Pages Eye Care Centers.

Total Records = 868

-All addresses from the sections above were copied and pasted into a textfile, which was then formatted so that it could be imported into Excel and converted to a database file format. -The addresses were geocoded against ARC Logistics Route GDT Roads Shapefile created using FGDL Albers HPGN map projection (See "Map Projection Parameters" below). -Duplicate REcords were removed using an ArcView Script.

-Added DESCRIPT field based on NAME

-This update consists of changes made to Volusia County, Florida in 2005. The old geocoded data was removed from the statewide layer and the newly acquired data was appended. The AUTOID was calculated for records containing no old AUTOID number.
