you should have distinct osm objects for the building and its occupants. 
Buildings typically are mapped as ways, get a building=* tag and in case they 
have a name, add a name-tag.

Offices (or doctors, or any other occupant) on the other hand can be mapped as 
nodes (inside the building), or overlapping way, or multipolygon relation (e.g. 
to reuse the building geometry), get their own tags (e.g. office=*, amenity=*, 
etc.) and will have their own name in their own name tag.

Another common way to map in osm is adding all kinds of tags (for different 
entities/objects) on the same geometry. I think despite this being very common 
it is a bad way of mapping, because it becomes unclear (especially to 
non-intelligent map data consumers) which tags refer to which object (while 
humans able to understand the language of the name might nonetheless be able to 
guess right/infer to which object it belongs)

cheers,
Martin

To clarify, if the business entity has ah single name, or if the building has a 
single name? One of my doctors is in a medical practice with several other 
doctors. This practice has a name. The practice is in an office building shared 
with several other medical practices. The building in turn has a name, the 
Anderson Building. The company that owns it is in the real-estate management 
business, not the medical business.

If the building carries a common name for all the offices I would tag it
with amenity=clinic. Otherwise each office with amenity=doctors.
You can dig the wiki for indoor mapping advice, level on which the office
is is perhaps level=# (can't remember w/out verifying).

Yes it's separate. It's across the street from a small hospital.

Is this a building completely separate from a hospital? I encounter these
buildings as part of a hospital complex and so include them in an area
tagged with amenity=hospital.

[Tagging] Multistory medical office building

[Hans De Kryger]

Wondering how to tag a 2 story medical office building. It has many doctors
offices. To many to place poi's one upon another on the building. In need
of help?
