Abstract:
Hospitals in Wyandotte County, KS, portrayed as GIS point feature layer in ESRI shapefile format in Kansas North State Plane Coordinate System, NAD83, units feet.
Besides showing hospital locations, this data has attribution that includes facility name, address, city, contact phone number, and other useful information. All hospitals are included, but other medical clinics and urgent care facilities are not represented here. |
Metadata elements shown with blue text are defined in the Federal Geographic Data Committee's (FGDC) Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM). Elements shown with green text are defined in the ESRI Profile of the CSDGM. Elements shown with a green asterisk (*) will be automatically updated by ArcCatalog. ArcCatalog adds hints indicating which FGDC elements are mandatory; these are shown with gray text.

Attribution comes directly from hospital source (public website) and is believed to be current and accurate as of publication date.
Point feature topology, with only one point location per hospital main structure. Point placement was near geometric center of largest building in complex, as evidenced by available ortho imagery.
All hospitals included
No quantifiable accuracy is given. However, each point's location will fall within hospital facility spatial extent.
N/A
Aerial orthophotography provided snapshot of ground conditions to compare and review features, and as basis for feature extraction
Digital planimetric/topographic drawing files (CAD format) furnished topographic and planimetric detail as a snapshot of ground conditions to compare and review features.
Hospital web sites provided information about hospital services, contacts, and hospital grounds maps
Dataset was developed from a list compiled by GeoSpatial Services of all active hospitals. Address locations were verified by source information (and hospital web sources). Point features were captured in GIS with heads up digitizing in ESRI geodatabase feature layer using aerial photos (geotiffs) as visual backdrop. CAD-derived GIS plan features were also used as reference, as well as GIS tax parcel layer. Attribution was added from cited sources
