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 reformatted to a Database File
Format. The addresses were geocoded against ARC Logistics Route GDT
Roads Shapefile created using FGDL Albers HPGN map projection.

-Selected All Attributes in the shapefile and then performed 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.
-All addresses from the sections above were copied and pasted into a
text file, 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.
-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.
(A3) For Volusia County, FL the 2005 GC_HEALTH statewide
geocoded point data was removed. This data was replaced
with more accurate point data received directly from Volusia
County and/or a company working with Volusia County in May
of 2005.
(A5) Some Information from the 2004 geocoded data set was
retained; this data was retained for three reasons:
1. The Yellow Pages and Super Pages Online are paid
advertising sites, some facilities may wish to discontinue
their advertising with those companies but they may still
exist at that address/location (i.e. Churches etc).
2. The address might have changed slightly (i.e. suite
number, building number, or zip code) which may have
affected the addresses ability to be geocoded with the
2005 GDT roads dataset.
3. The facility no longer exists.
Because facilities in reasons one and two may still exist
in the real world all the 2004 geocoded features that were
not reproduced in the 2005 geocode update were re-geocoded
against the 2005 GDT roads dataset. These facilities were
then added to the 2005 geocoded dataset. Facilities that
are part of this scenario are represented with a value of 'NIN'
(Not In New) in the field called FLAG.
-Added DESCRIPT field based on NAME
-Socio-Cultural Effect data fields and definitions were added.
FLAG, UPDATE_DAY, AUTOID, NAME, ADDRESS, CITY,
OPERATING, OP_CLASS, HOURS, SPECIAL, YR_BUILT,
COMMON_USE, USE, FGDLAQDATE.
-For facilities that previously existed the permanent auto
identification number [auto id] was carried over from the
2004 SCE base data to the 2005 SCE updates. For new
facilities autoids were created.
-Total Records = 13383
