Massachusetts Hospitals (Hosted Feature Layer)

This point data layer shows the location of hospitals in Massachusetts licensed by the Department of Public Health (DPH). The hospitals are defined by four facility types, acute, non-acute, satellite emergency facility, and hospital inpatient unit. Acute care hospitals are those licensed under MGL Chapter 111, section 51 and contain a majority of medical-surgical, pediatric, obstetric, and maternity beds, as defined by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH). Non-acute hospitals are typically identified as psychiatric, rehabilitation, and chronic care facilities, along with some non-acute specialty hospitals. Non-acute care hospitals do not have 24/7 emergency departments. The features in this layer are based on database information provided to MassGIS from the DPH, the Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS), the DPH Office of Emergency Medical Services (OEMS), and the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA). This data layer is a complete overhaul of the previous Acute Care and Non-Acute Care hospitals data layers intended to improve data layer update frequency and include satellite emergency facilities that were previously excluded. Data layer is updated based on information send from DPH as of 3/31/2026. This layer is stored in the SDE database as HOSPITALS_PT.本点状数据图层展示了由马萨诸塞州公共卫生部（Department of Public Health, DPH）许可运营的医院在马萨诸塞州的分布位置。本次收录的医院共分为四类设施类型：急性护理医院、非急性护理医院、卫星急诊设施以及医院住院单元。根据马萨诸塞州公共卫生部的定义，急性护理医院是指依照马萨诸塞州普通法规（Massachusetts General Laws, MGL）第111章第51条许可设立的机构，且配备占多数的内科外科、儿科、产科及待产床位。非急性护理医院通常涵盖精神科、康复科及长期护理设施，以及部分非急性专科专科医院，且不设有全天候急诊科室。本图层的要素数据来源于公共卫生部、卫生与人类服务执行办公室（Executive Office of Health and Human Services, EOHHS）、公共卫生部急诊医疗服务办公室（Office of Emergency Medical Services, OEMS）以及马萨诸塞州应急管理局（Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency, MEMA）向马萨诸塞州地理信息系统（MassGIS）提供的数据库信息。本数据图层是对既往急性护理与非急性护理医院数据图层的全面重构，旨在提升数据图层的更新频率，并纳入此前未被覆盖的卫星急诊设施。本图层依据公共卫生部截至2026年3月31日提供的信息完成更新，并以HOSPITALS_PT为名称存储于空间数据引擎（Spatial Database Engine, SDE）数据库中。
