GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
This dataset contains 2017 Hospital Facility Information for the State of Florida. It is a combination of hospital facility addresses from different sources. The data contains selected fields denoting the name, physical address, and other facility information for hospitals located in Florida. This data is meant to be used for planning purposes only and is not intended to represent a 100% inventory of hospitals in Florida. Hospital locations that have been verified are marked with the letter V in the FLAG field. Please Note: This is an update to the FGDL layer gc_hospitals_feb13.shp. This layer corresponds to the hospitals boundary layer gc_hospitalsbnd_sep17 available through FGDL.

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.

In the case of this dataset, special attention was given to the position
of the resulting x,y point location of the geocoded address. The location of 
geocoded x,y point was manually moved by GeoPlan Center 
from the street to on top of the facility building.

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

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

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:

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
The GeoPlan Center performed the following steps in order to create the 2009
statewide hospitals data layer (GC_HOSPITALS_ARP09).

6 Different Sources Comprise the Hospitals Dataset.

The following Sources were either reprojected to the FGDL Albers NAD83 HPGN 
map projection or if no spatial data existed they were geocoded to a statewide 
2008 Tele Atlas Streets dataset.  For downloaded county and district wide polygon 
layers the label points were created and then used for each facility.

Once the point sources were created via geocoding or reprojected existing point 
data they were merged into one statewide layer.

Record (facility) duplications were removed by manually viewing and editing the 
statewide layer's attribute table for each of the 67 counties.  Where record 
duplication existed source information of previously corrected FDEM data took 
preference followed by, County data, State Data, and finally geocoded data.

Geocoded point locations were manually moved by GeoPlan Center 
from the street to on top of the facility building. 

Below are the data Sources as described in the Source field in the attribute table
for the GC_HOSPITALS_ARP09 layer.

Process Date: 20110510
*********************************************************** GeoPlan updated the hospitals_may11 layer. Each record in the layer was scrutinized and verified to be in its proper location. Web searches were also conducted to verify the existence of the facility. Once its location was verified appropriate attributes were updated. Facilities no longer deemed operational were removed from the layer. Some minor table restructuring was done to reflect the current table syntax used by GeoPlan. Once a point was moved to the proper location, the corresponding parcel(s) were extracted from the 2010 statewide parcel geodatabase (gc_hospitalsbnd_nov12). These parcels were assigned the same GeoPlan ID given to the hospital facility's point. Appropriate attributes were extracted from the parcel database and added to this point layer. Additional attributes were added to capture information pertaining to the facility's accompanying parcel including COMMON_USE, USE, and LINK. If a hospital facility is associated with more than one parcel, the information from the parcel deemed primary was used to calculate the fields. These variables as well as AYRBLT were updated using the information in the parcels layer. The USNG_FL_1K, LAT_DD, and LONG_DD were also recalculated to account for any spatial changes during the update. The following hospital facilities were removed the gc_hospitals_may11 layer due to closure, relocation or consolidation: A G HOLLEY STATE HOSPITAL 1199 WEST LANTANA ROAD LANTANA, FL, 33462 SOUTHWEST FLORIDA REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER 2727 WINKLER AVENUE FORT MYERS, FL 33901 SOUTH SHORE HOSPITAL & MEDICAL CENTER 630 ALTON ROAD MIAMI BEACH, FL 33139 SOUTH FLORIDA EVALUATION CENTER 2200 NW 7TH AVENUE MIAMI, FL 33127 TRINITY COMMUNITY HOSPITAL 506 4TH STREET NORTHWEST JASPER, FL 32052 Of the remaining 341 features, 338 were visually verified. Process Date: 20121126
*********************************************************** GeoPlan Center Process Steps: Updated tabular information only on February 13th, 2013. - Cleaned up NAME, ADDRESS, PHONE, OPERATING and DESCRIPT fields. - Updated Metadata. Process Date: 20130213
*********************************************************** In 2017, GeoPlan updated the 2013 Florida hospitals shapefile. During the QA/QC process, GeoPlan performed the following tasks: - Verified all records in GC_HOSPITALS_FEB13.shp using imagery and Google Street View. See the flag field for the definition. Once records were verified, appropriate attributes were updated. Records unable to be verified were noted. 7 hospitals were removed due to facility closure, relocation, or consolidation: 1.

All new records were given a unique GCID. The final Point layer was spatially joined to the 2014-15 statewide parcel layer, and the GCID field was populated with a unique ID linking each point feature with its corresponding polygon layer feature, GC_HOSPITALSBND_SEP17.
