For hospitals that are all one building (or sections of a multi-building - is that a term??), it sounds like it's a case of using the indoor mapping scheme:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Indoor_Mapping And then display depends on what is most appropriate: - Universidad Pública de Navarra - Aulario in OSM <https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/42.80033/-1.63669> in OpenLevelUp! <http://openlevelup.net/?lat=42.800434&lon=-1.637290&z=19&t=0&lvl=0&tcd=1&urd=0&bdg=0&pic=0&nte=0> - Universidad Pública de Navarra - Biblioteca in OSM <https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/42.79956/-1.63596> in OpenLevelUp! <http://openlevelup.net/?lat=42.799604&lon=-1.636099&z=19&t=0&lvl=0&tcd=1&urd=0&bdg=0&pic=0&nte=0> OpenLevelUp looks great for displaying multi-floor buildings.
