It would be helpful to post any existing or proposed data models and thoughts toward tagging of hospital operational status here:

I haven't taken the time to see whether this use of the database to forward help requests is mentioned anywhere on OSM wiki. Well, OSM was never designed as a note-passing platform. OSM is meant to represent the physical features of a base map, i.e. "what's on the ground right now". I always wondered if those hospitals on the OSM main map for Haiti was really up an running. Is it really an amenity=hospital of no patients can go there? Erik, If you want to see what's inside some of them, you can have a look there (French NGOs) : http://www.croix-rouge.fr/ http://www.msf.fr/ http://www.medecinsdumonde.org/ (I am trying to get in touch with them) Jean-Guilhem
