Massachusetts Hospitals (Feature Service)

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）许可的马萨诸塞州境内医院的位置。本数据集将获批医院划分为四类设施类型：急性医院（acute）、非急性医院（non-acute）、卫星急诊设施（satellite emergency facility）以及住院病区（hospital inpatient unit）。根据马萨诸塞州公共卫生部（DPH）的定义，急性护理医院指依照《马萨诸塞州普通法》（Massachusetts General Laws, MGL）第111章第51条获得许可的机构，且多数床位为内科外科、儿科、产科及分娩床位。非急性医院通常指精神科、康复科及长期护理机构，同时涵盖部分非急性专科医院。非急性护理医院不设有24小时不间断急诊科室。本图层的要素数据源自以下机构向马萨诸塞州地理信息系统（MassGIS）提供的数据库信息：公共卫生部（DPH）、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（DPH Office of Emergency Medical Services, OEMS）以及马萨诸塞州应急管理局（Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency, MEMA）。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。本数据图层的更新基于公共卫生部（DPH）截至2026年3月31日提供的信息。本图层以HOSPITALS_PT为名存储于SDE数据库中。
