Data related to facilities and services are important for healthcare providers, stakeholders, municipal planners, and the public to better understand the locations and distribution of facilities within the larger healthcare system in Massachusetts. For example, an emergency service planner might want to collect and maintain information such as the number of licensed medical/surgical beds that are available within their city/town, county, or EMS region. Alternatively, a member of the public may be searching for nearby hospitals that are licensed for maternal beds.
