Nicolas,

Can't we rely on healthC_ID for later incorporation of other tags (which are mostly empty for now) ?

Isn't it a kind of emergency in itself to have the points, with precise location, name, and unambiguous ID in the OSM data base ? For use on the ground ?

"Any groups tracking health facilities should make sure to incorporate this identifier to enable unambiguous sharing/merging of data between groups."

Regards,

Jean-Guilhem

Hi there

Thanks Jean Guilhem for forwarding this post on this fundamental asset, before embarking into any bulk upload and exposing ourselves to double risk of duplication and data losses , we shall hear back from Kate Chapman who had been involved in the work of the group making this resource available and on conflating it with the OSM data base.

We shall also look at the semantic aspect of this conflation work and make sure the tags we will be setting for the HFacs description besides the Unifying Unique ID set by the Ministère de la Santé Publique et de la Population (MSPP) are interoperable with the ones used in the World Health Organization (Geneva) and PAHO (Pan American World Health Organization). Since both organizations are envisaging to use the osm platform to manage this Health Facility layer at the condition of relying on interoperable tags.

I'll be reverting to the group soon with the "final" list of proposed values, a first unfortunately incomplete set is readable on the HT wiki

Later then
Best to all

   Hi,

   Could someone help automatically importing this list into OSM ?
   (At least X, Y, name, healthC_ID, for 1267 points)

   I could help to do some cleaning up with the points that might
   already be present in OSM.

   Thanks,

   Jean-Guilhem
   (knowing JOSM, but no automatic import tool (yet ?))

   The Haiti Health Facilities master list has now been made publicly
   available at
    http://sites.google.com/a/netspective.org/haiti-health-facilities/.
    This represents a combination of many efforts over the past two weeks.

   Of particular note is the unique identifier HealthC_ID which is
   based on the Ministère de la Santé Publique et de la Population
   (MSPP) of Haiti identifiers expanded to allow for temporary and
   transient health facilities.  Any groups tracking health facilities
   should make sure to incorporate this identifier to enable
   unambiguous sharing/merging of data between groups. This dataset is
   owned by the MSPP and is being maintained by WHO/PAHO and the
   website allows for submitting corrections and additions to keep the
   dataset up to date.
