Good day, fellow OSM tagging experts. I would like to ask assistance in creating a tag for HIV facilities. We have created a tagging system for hiv facilities here in the Philippines but it seems to be too extensive. We would like it to be more simple. I hope you can help me with it. I am reading the wiki page and Im having a challenging time doing it. Some background: We have 3 types of HIV facilities/clinics. Treatment hubs (in patient + dispensaries+ testing), primary hiv care (dispensaries+testing) and testing centers/clinics (testing only). We have started tagging hospitals which have this features and honestly I am guessing this would eventually get mixed up with the other tagging like the contact number of the hospital, etc. Hopefully, we can represent it with a node with basic details specifically for that clinic/department. Hope someone can guide us and thank you in advance. -- MIKKO L.

At present there is the key healtcare.
Some initial thoughts?
healthcare:specialty=HIV_testing
healthcare:specialty=HIV_treatment
HIV dispensary ... would be a pharmacy?
amenity=pharmacy and dispensing=HIV
??? Hopefully there will be better
ideas.

> Treatment hubs (in patient + dispensaries+ testing):
Are you sure you mean "inpatient?" An "inpatient" facility, in American English, is a hospital which has beds where patients are cared for overnight. This would be mapped as amenity=hospital for the main feature, most likely. > primary hiv care (dispensaries+testing) You don't mention care by a nurse or physician, but I assume this is an amenity=clinic (with physicians and nurses) which also has an amenity=pharmacy in the same building. There might also be a healthcare=laboratory at the location. > testing centers/clinics (testing only) Is this a doctor's office, or is there just a nurse, or just a laboratory technician who can draw blood for the test? If there is a doctor, it might be an amenity=doctors. If there is just a laboratory for testing, that would be a healthcare=laboratory facility. For the speciality, it's possible to use something like healthcare:speciality=hiv if that's the only thing that the clinic treats. But here in Indonesia and back in the USA most clinics that treat HIV also offer treatment for other infectious conditions, so a different specialty like healthcare:speciality=infectious_diseases would usually be more correct. I see that in the Phillipines the tag "disease:hiv=yes" has been used: https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/disease%3Ahiv#map In Indonesia and the USA you can get an HIV test at just about any healthcare=laboratory and larger clinics and all hospitals. But if you can only get this done at some specialized places in the Phillipines, you could consider adding a tag like "hiv_testing=yes/no" for clinics, doctor's offices, and laboratories. Similarly, in the USA it's normal to be able to get hiv medications from standard pharmacies. But if they are only available from a few pharmacies in your country, you could add a tag like "hiv_medication=yes/no" to an "amenity=pharmacy" facility. It looks like "medical_service:antiretroviral_therapy=yes" has been used in combination. That seems overlong and complex, so it would not have been my first choice: https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/medical_service%3Aantiretroviral_therapy -- Joseph Eisenberg On 4/13/20, Warin <[hidden email]> wrote: > At present there is the key healtcare. > > https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:healthcare > > Some initial thoughts? > > healthcare:specialty=HIV_testing > > healthcare:specialty=HIV_treatment > > HIV dispensary ... would be a pharmacy? > > amenity <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:amenity>=pharmacy and > dispensing <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:dispensing>=HIV > > ???Hopefully there will be better ideas. > > On 13/4/20 4:32 pm, Mikko Tamura wrote: >> Good day, fellow OSM tagging experts.

Thank you for the wonderful insights. Currently, what we are tagging is the hospital. So for example, Manila Hospital (tagged as a hospital) we add the tags like disease:hiv=yes. say that it is a treatment facility and it dispenses hiv medicine. But what i am having difficulty is that hiv facility is treated like a department. You can put in the email address and contact details of the hospital but if I add the contact details of the Hiv facility it then gets mixed with the hospital details. In this case A hospital can have a clinic specifically for HIV, and a clinic can also have a small office for HIV patients (not specifically another clinic). Thanks Joseph and Warin most. of the cases are really similar here. For treatment hubs - yes this is for inpatients similarly for the one you described. This is are mostly hospitals but in some cases clinics. My problem here is that a big hospital has alot of contact details for the hospital so the information and contact details for the hiv treatment facility are mixed. For hiv care - yes it is a bit of all a combination. I cant tagged it as a pharmacy as it only releases specific anti-retroviral drugs. Currently We are using this tagging system as assisted by the local OSM community in the Philippines. But I feel the feature gets overshadowed by the hospital/clinic/social facility/office tag. Your thoughts would be very helpful. On Mon, Apr 13, 2020 at 3:58 PM Joseph Eisenberg <[hidden email]> wrote: > Treatment hubs (in patient + dispensaries+ testing): MIKKO L.

I think this is a case of “Things within other things”. How do we map
that? For the enclosing hospital, we know how to map that. But how do we map individual parts within it? e.g. St. James' Hospital in Dublin (OSM: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/32015912 ), the hospital has it's own phone number, `website` etc. Within that is a HIV (& STI) clinic http://guideclinic.ie/ It has it's own website, and a specific location. How should that be tagged? Beumount Hospital ( https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/22634348 ) has is mapped and tagged. The Infection Disease service ( http://www.beaumont.ie/index.jsp?p=105&n=227 ) is “located on the ground floor in St Johns ward”, and has a phone number & email address. How can we map this? OSM could do much better for indoor mapping, and for shopping centres or train stations, that's easy. Add each `shop` or corridor. But what about a (sorta of) clinic within a larger OSM object?

(I'm not joking.) Blood gets taken, but not tested there. “This place does HIV tests (between these hours)”.

I don't know about US or IN & HIV drugs, but at least the US has laws allowing pharmacies to refuse to fulfill prescriptions for “religious objection” ( https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/a3amzp/in-these-states-pharmacists-can-refuse-to-fill-your-prescription-for-religious-beliefs ) . Now-a-days that's mostly abortion, but it might be relevant “This pharmacy will/will not fill perscriptions for $TREATMENT” is something we could map in OSM. How should we do that? But if they are only available from a few > pharmacies in your country, you could add a tag like > "hiv_medication=yes/no" to an "amenity=pharmacy" facility. > > It looks like "medical_service:antiretroviral_therapy=yes" has been > used in combination.

I think one issue is that healthcare tagging in OSM is a big of a mess. There's the `healthcare`, `medical_service`, `health_service`, `health_facility` etc. Some are probably from imports where someone makes up a new tagging scheme, causing further fragmentation and confusion. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [hidden email] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging |

If the HIV clinic or department has different details, such as a different name, opening_hours, website, etc, then it will need to be mapped as a separate feature, such as an amenity=clinic node inside of the amenity=hospital area. It's common for a big hospital or "medical center" to have many clinics on the same property or even in the same building. My residency clinic was in a building inside of Long Beach Medical Center, which also contained a children's hospital, a nursing home, labs, radiology, and a number of outpatient clinics in a series of connected buildings. Here in Indonesia, a public hospital will have an emergency department, a surgical building, several buildings for inpatients, a couple of outpatient clinics, pharmacy, laboratory, radiology, etc. If you need to add different details for these sorts of features, then map each as it's own node (or an area, for example if it has a separate wing or whole building), and tag with amenity= or healthcare= as appropriate. > For hiv care - yes it is a bit of all a combination.

Most countries regulate these like a bigger pharmacy. > Currently We are using this tagging system as assisted by the local OSM > community in the Philippines. > https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/HIV_Facilities_Tagging_(MapBeks) That's a rather complicated system. A hospital which offers HIV treatment is supposed to get all of these tags: "amenity=hospital" ... "disease:hiv=yes "health_service:test=yes "health_facility:dispensary=yes "health_service:counselling=yes "counselling_type:sexual=yes "medical_service:antiretroviral_therapy=yes "medical_service:outpatient=yes "description=DOH HIV Treatment Hub" This seems overly complicated. A few tags seem unnecessary or unclear: "medical_service:outpatient=yes" - almost all hospitals offer outpatient services. "health_service:test=yes" - this is quite vague. It would be better to use healthcare=laborator (as a node at the actual location of the laboratory) or "hiv_test=yes" if only rapid HIV testing is offered rather than a complete laboratory. "health_facility:dispensary=yes" - if there is a pharmacy or a dispensary, it would be better to tag this as "amenity=pharmacy" at the actual location. I suppose if there is no pharmacist and it's just a doctor's office or nurses who give out medications, then a shorter tag like "dispensing=yes" would be proper to add to the clinic or office. See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:dispensing "description=DOH HIV Treatment Hub" - it would be better to add this as a tag, like "hiv_treatment_hub=yes" rather than use description (I also would not add healthcare=clinic or healthcare=hospital - just use amenity=hospital or amenity=clinic, no need to add a second tag with the same meaning.) -- Joseph Eisenberg _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [hidden email] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging |

"disease:hiv=yes "health_service:test=yes "health_facility:dispensary=yes "health_service:counselling=yes "counselling_type:sexual=yes "medical_service:antiretroviral_therapy=yes "medical_service:outpatient=yes "description=DOH HIV Treatment Hub" This seems overly complicated. A few tags seem unnecessary or unclear: "medical_service:outpatient=yes" - almost all hospitals offer outpatient services. "health_service:test=yes" - this is quite vague. It would be better to use healthcare=laborator (as a node at the actual location of the laboratory) or "hiv_test=yes" if only rapid HIV testing is offered rather than a complete laboratory. "health_facility:dispensary=yes" - if there is a pharmacy or a dispensary, it would be better to tag this as "amenity=pharmacy" at the actual location. I suppose if there is no pharmacist and it's just a doctor's office or nurses who give out medications, then a shorter tag like "dispensing=yes" would be proper to add to the clinic or office. See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:dispensing "description=DOH HIV Treatment Hub" - it would be better to add this as a tag, like "hiv_treatment_hub=yes" rather than use description (I also would not add healthcare=clinic or healthcare=hospital - just use amenity=hospital or amenity=clinic, no need to add a second tag with the same meaning.) -- Joseph Eisenberg _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [hidden email] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging

Ok, I do agree that "healthcare=department" or perhaps
"healthcare=hospital_department" would make sense for an inpatient department within a larger hospital, since that is certainly not an amenity=clinic (which are outpatient facilities). It would not be a good idea to use a totally new key like "department=" on a feature like this which could be mapped as an area, since this will be difficult for database users, and because it would be ambiguous if "healthcare" or similar is not included in the tag. This would make sense for hospitals which have a whole "wing" or separate building devoted to the surgical service, or obstetrics (labor and delivery), or a pediatric department which is not a separate hospital, or a special psychiatric ward, and so on. For the original poster, it depends whether these HIV centres are outpatient-only, in which case amenity=clinic is fine. If they admit inpatients into a special part of the hospital, then a new tag like healthcare=department / hospital_department is a good idea. -- Joseph Eisenberg On 4/13/20, Warin <[hidden email]> wrote: > On 13/4/20 7:27 pm, Rory McCann wrote: >> I think this is a case of “Things within other things”.

>I think one issue is that healthcare tagging in OSM is a big of a mess.
There's the `healthcare`, `medical_service`, `health_service`, `health_facility` etc. Some are probably from imports where someone makes up a new tagging scheme, causing further fragmentation and confusion. Seems the inactive/abandoned https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Healthcare_2.0, should be the origin for some of the other tags, to which it is adopted/adapted. It looks very complex, and had pushbacks at its time as well. To compare, there are for example `disease:malaria=*`, `disease:ebola=*`, and some `disease:covid19`, all in <1k use respectively. >`hiv_{treatment,medication}=*` could work, but a more general approach might be nice... For the issue at hand, it may be clearer to consider "the thing to be treated" (be it the virus, or the virus disease), service, and facility separately. Specialty is like a broader, higher-level, encompassing concept that isn't really needed here yet. Think we can negate what a service or facility excludes in particular easily (by a virus/disease key suffix, or conditional tags), after tagging the viruses/diseases relevant to the object in general first. This beats having to exhaustively list out what each service supports. ebel wrote > On 13.04.20 09:57, Joseph Eisenberg wrote: >>> testing centers/clinics (testing only) >> >> Is this a doctor's office, or is there just a nurse, or just a >> laboratory technician who can draw blood for the test?

I think a department or a small office is a better primary tag for hiv treatment centers/ testing/ dispensary. Usually in our case in the Philippines, a small building has a clinic and in that clinic there is a small office space or room/s for hiv testing and for dispensing.

Ok, I do agree that "healthcare=department" or perhaps Some may be both for inpatients and outpatients. Like X-ray. If you insist on a separate value for use when the facility is within a hospital and may be used by inpatients, then I suspect carto people are going to say "no synonyms." What is needed, though, is a tag for hospital wards. By "wards" I mean how the term is used in British English and not as stated by In British English a ward is a collection of beds for inpatients. Some specialized wards may be clinics/departments as well as collections of beds, but most are effectively dormitories. My nearest general hospital has 20 wards scattered around a large complex and it would be nice for people visiting patients to be able to see where they are on a map. -- Paul _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [hidden email] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging |
> I suspect carto people are going to say "no synonyms."
While synonyms are a bad idea, we are talking about something that is NOT a synonym: an inpatient department of a hospital, rather than a clinic or doctor's office. > What is needed, though, is a tag for hospital wards. That might also be useful. Could you explain the difference between "department" and "ward" in British English usage? I found a page with a list of departments at NHS hospitals, so apparently both words are used to mean something different: https://www.netdoctor.co.uk/health-services/nhs/a4502/a-to-z-of-hospital-departments/ BTW, what is the most common term for an "emergency department" in the UK?

Umm, triple-hatted - tagging, carto and medical. Come up with a new healthcare=* and I'll replace the healthcare=clinic I was using for lack of anything better. Doesn't matter if it doesn't render yet because everything has been re-arranged in hospitals and won't return to normal for many months (if ever). > What is needed, though, is a tag for hospital wards. In BE usage, wards are where inpatients sleep. Departments are things like the X-ray unit, diabetes centre, renal dialysis unit, endoscopy, outpatient department, chemotherapy day unit and outpatients department (all actual names of departments at my nearest general hospital). Going by wikipedia, it seems likely that BE wards may be known as inpatient wards elsewhere.
That page doesn't explicitly define what a ward is in BE, but if you search for the word "ward" on the page it is clear from context that a ward is where inpatients sleep. Another thing that page mentions is a discharge lounge. It's not where you get some sort of medical treatment, like endoscopy or X-ray or renal dialysis, nor is it a place to sleep. It's where they put you after they've decided you're no longer ill enough to occupy a bed on a ward and you're awaiting collection by somebody (possibly hospital transport if your circumstances warrant it). The one at my nearest general hospital had 12 chairs (each with accompanying adjustable table of the type that accompanies ward beds) and a couple of hospital beds. It had a nurse or nursing assistant in charge, in case somebody had a relapse. Somebody from the pharmacy would hand patients take-home medications as required. Worth mapping (so whoever is picking you up can figure out where to go and park), but probably requires a different healthcare=* value and a different carto icon. See https://www.uhb.nhs.uk/discharge-lounge.htm for details of a discharge lounge in the UK (fancier than the one at my nearest general hospital).
The terms "casualty" and "emergency ward" are still in use by the public but hospitals themselves call them A&E. Which reminds me, cottage hospitals (small, minor hospitals) don't have an A&E but may have a minor injuries unit. If you lopped your hand off with a chainsaw you need an A&E but if you put a big gash in your hand that won't stop bleeding a minor injuries unit can handle it. -- Paul _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [hidden email] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging |

So what's the consensus on clinics? If there is a consenus (rather than the
usual bunfight) I'll amend the wiki pages to make it explicit that clinic
can be used for units/departments/centres in hospitals.
I even do not know whether there is a consensus. In Germany, we use "amenity=clinic" often for everything which has not "hospital" (in german) in their name but looks like a hospital, often the difference is just emergency=no. Many of them are healthcare=rehabilitation, is amenity=clinic then still fitting also with that?

Not yet. Maybe never.
That sounds like the distinction between what the UK calls a general hospital (big, with emergency unit) and a cottage hospital (small, with only a minor injuries unit). Both have inpatient beds. Both have "hospital" in their names. But in the UK we're moving away from cottage hospitals to "Integrated Care Centres." They include much of what a cottage hospital did and also other things like a doctors' general practice and social workers. But, crucially, no inpatient beds. They're not called hospitals by the health boards and the public don't think of them as hospitals because there are no beds. They include departments that would be tagged as clinics in their own right if they were stand-alone, such as X-ray and physiotherapy. Too big to be tagged as a clinic, no beds so they're not a hospital. Something else we could use a tag for. We either need to be able to specify hospital types such as general and cottage, then hammer the square peg of an integrated care centre into the round hole of a type of hospital or we need healthcare=integrated_care_centre. -- Paul _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [hidden email] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging |

But here in Indonesia and back in the USA most clinics that treat HIV also offer treatment for other infectious conditions, so a different specialty like healthcare:speciality=infectious_diseases would usually be more correct. I see that in the Phillipines the tag "disease:hiv=yes" has been used: https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/disease%3Ahiv#map In Indonesia and the USA you can get an HIV test at just about any healthcare=laboratory and larger clinics and all hospitals. But if you can only get this done at some specialized places in the Phillipines, you could consider adding a tag like "hiv_testing=yes/no" for clinics, doctor's offices, and laboratories. Similarly, in the USA it's normal to be able to get hiv medications from standard pharmacies. But if they are only available from a few pharmacies in your country, you could add a tag like "hiv_medication=yes/no" to an "amenity=pharmacy" facility. It looks like "medical_service:antiretroviral_therapy=yes" has been used in combination. That seems overlong and complex, so it would not have been my first choice: https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/medical_service%3Aantiretroviral_therapy -- Joseph Eisenberg On 4/13/20, Warin <[hidden email] [hidden email]> wrote: > At present there is the key healtcare. > > https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:healthcare > > Some initial thoughts? > > healthcare:specialty=HIV_testing > > healthcare:specialty=HIV_treatment > > HIV dispensary ... would be a pharmacy? > > amenity <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:amenity>=pharmacy and > dispensing <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:dispensing>=HIV > > ???Hopefully there will be better ideas. > > On 13/4/20 4:32 pm, Mikko Tamura wrote: >> Good day, fellow OSM tagging experts.

You'd have great difficulty persuading iD to support it. The problem is that different types of organization (hospitals, universities, etc.) have different types of departments. This would lead to a page documenting department=* values being split across two or more tables for humans to understand more easily. But iD tends to populate its drop-downs from wikidata or wiki pages, meaning that you'd have a big drop-down filled with every type of department, irrespective of the type of organization. That makes it hard to use, and is why iD will almost certainly refuse to support it. -- Paul _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [hidden email] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging |
