Title:

DOH Nursing Home 202206

Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form:vector digital data

Description:

Abstract:

The PA Nursing Homes layer was developed to show the geospatial locations of nursing homes in Pennsylvania.  It can be used in various emergency and health related maps.  A nursing home is a place for people who don't need to be in a hospital but can't be cared for at home.  When possible, efforts were made to confirm the rooftop location of each nursing home. The accuracy of geocoding is available in Geocoding Certainty attribute field (Geocoding Certainty: Rooftop="00", Street="01", Zip Centroid="04", Not geocoded="99"). Latitude and longitude are recorded in the WGS 1984 coordinate system in decimal degrees.  For questions about this dataset, please contact the Pennsylvania Department of Health Division of Health Informatics at RA-DHICONTACTUS@pa.gov or 717-782-2448.

Purpose:

The PA_Nursing_Homes layer was develeoped to show the geospatial location of nursing homes in Pennsylvania. It can be used in various emergency and health related maps.

Esri

Attribute_Domain_Values:

Unrepresentable_Domain:

Sequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated.

Attribute:

Attribute_Label:SURVEY_ID_NUMBER

Attribute_Definition:

Unique Survey ID Number for each nursing home that is licensed or approved by the PA Department of Health Bureau of Facility Licensure and Certification.

Attribute:

Attribute_Label:FACILITY_ID

Attribute_Definition:

Unique Facility ID Number for each nursing home that is licensed or approved by the PA Department of Health Bureau of Facility Licensure and Certification.

Attribute:

Attribute_Label:LONGITUDE

Attribute_Definition:

Geocoded longitude for a given nursing home using the WGS 1984 geocoding systems in decimal degrees.

Attribute:

Attribute_Label:LATITUDE

Attribute_Definition:

Geocoded latitude for a given nursing home using the WGS 1984 geocoding systems in decimal degrees.

Attribute:

Attribute_Label:NURSING_HOME_URL

Attribute_Definition:

Official website of each nursing home that is licensed or approved by the PA Department of Health Bureau of Facility Licensure and Certification.

Attribute:

Attribute_Label:GEOCODING_CERTAINTY

Attribute_Definition:

This field measures the accuracy of address geocoding for each nursing home.
Rooftop level geocoding is the most accurate and was confirmed through photographic imagery.  Street level geocoding is secon most accurate.  The coordinates are approximated on a street segment and do not confirm the building's exact location.  If an address cannot be street geocoded, then a ZIP Code centroid is assigned.
Geocoding Certainty: Rooftop="00", Street="01", Zip Centroid="04", Not geocoded="99".
