Healthcare versus amenity The aim of this proposal is also to group all healthcare related POIs into one key (except medical stores which should be placed in shop=*). At the moment, the key amenity=* is used for a multitude of unrelated subjects. It seems more logical to use different keys for different areas whenever possible.

Of course, it could be said that a lot of healthcare related POIs are already tagged using amenity=*. Therefore a renderer should at first continue to support these keys as well as the new healthcare=* (and shop=*). When the new tagging schema is finally established and most editors and renderers support it, the old tags could be replaced using a bot. The idea is based on several discussions in the german forums [1], [2] and Proposed features/Medical, Key:healthcare. Tagging healthcare=* shop=* Specialities of medical practitioners or other medical facilities The first column of the table shows the proposed value. Specialities for healthcare=clinic Rendering Voting .

Pro. Proposed features/Healthcare 2.0. Why this proposal? What kind of doctor is amenity=doctors? Hopefully you will only need amenity=dentist in your life, where this is more clear. ;-) Which kind of medical system is used? The traditional medical systems are used in conjunction with the western medical system by tradition or to address its shortcomings. What about other public health related services such as home nursing? Why another public health/health care related proposal? This was meant as an extension to the original healthcare proposal [1], but after some discussion it turns out, that it doesn't fit into Reclus's picture of the world, that there are more then the western medical system, which are at least in parts, valid medical treatments.

What healthcare=* is lacking No detailed mapping of support groups, counselling centres or even just health related amenities or services.
