It would be super helpful if they at least released the name of their data sources.
The places layer would be invaluable for (for example, stuff I'm working on now) geospatial healthcare access analytics if I could rely on the places being a reasonably accurate source of provider locations.
It's a lot of work to tie all the CMS data with health plan data etc.. and then to geocode it all with OSM tiger geocoders. If I could rely on that data already being present and scrubbed, it would be a godsend.
- jmye 3y agoYour project is really interesting to me - are you just looking at the physical buildings (e.g. you have 5 urgent cares within X distance), or are you trying to cross-reference provider data to number doctors/specialties? Or something else entirely? Totally understand if you can’t discuss (or don’t want to), but it’s in my domain and I’ve spent a fair amount of time thinking about how to do it without coming up with much, so I’m super curious about your thoughts.
