WMS Hospital Atlas DE

Hospital locations and their services: This data is transmitted annually by the Institute for the Hospital Remuneration System (InEK) to the Federal Statistical Office. Not included are day clinics, purely private facilities and hospitals that did not report full-inpatient cases in 2016. Accessibility zones: The basis for the calculation of accessibility zones of hospitals is the road data base of the Open Community Project (OSM). With the help of the software Esri ArcGIS Desktop and the program extensions Network Analyst and ArcGIS Editor for OpenStreetMap, the relevant road data (geometric information and associated attributes) are extracted from the OSM data and converted into a routing-enabled network data model. This allows the calculation of accessibility zones, the so-called isochrons. The isochronic calculation is performed for discrete time zones of five to 90 minutes. Within a zone, there is no further distinction between driving times. The accessibility is indicated in the form of grid cells with a spatial resolution of 100 meters * 100 meters. Please note that the indicated travel times are derived model sizes, which may differ significantly from actual driving times. In particular, the current traffic situation or possible restrictions on road traffic, such as traffic jams, construction sites or road closures are NOT taken into account. Furthermore, no guarantee can be assumed for the correctness of the underlying road geometry and the driving speeds derived from it. The OSM database may contain inaccuracies or errors in both geometric and descriptive information. For example, missing road sections or incorrect access restrictions can prevent the connection of individual traffic areas to the rest of the road network. This can result in incorrect calculation results. Please note that the algorithm for calculating distance zones in the periphery of the road network may produce highly generalising results. This allows isolated island areas close to the coast to be colored, although they do not have a connection to a road network.
