Included in this dataset are General Medical and Surgical Hospitals, Psychiatric and
Substance Abuse Hospitals, and Specialty Hospitals (e.g., Children's Hospitals,
Cancer Hospitals, Maternity Hospitals, Rehabilitation Hospitals, etc.). TGS has made
a concerted effort to include all general medical/surgical hospitals in New Mexico.
Other types of hospitals are included if they were represented in datasets sent by
the state. Therefore, not all of the specialty hospitals in New Mexico are
represented in this dataset. Hospitals operated by the Veterans Administration (VA)
are included, even if the state they are located in does not license VA Hospitals.
Nursing homes and Urgent Care facilities are excluded because they are included in a
separate dataset. Locations that are administrative offices only are excluded from
the dataset. Records with "-DOD" appended to the end of the [NAME] value are located
on a military base, as defined by the Defense Installation Spatial Data
Infrastructure (DISDI) military installations and military range boundaries. Text
fields in this dataset have been set to all upper case to facilitate consistent
database engine search results. All diacritics (e.g., the German umlaut or the
Spanish tilde) have been replaced with their closest equivalent English character to
facilitate use with database systems that may not support diacritics. The
currentness of this dataset is indicated by the [CONTDATE] field. Based upon this
field, the oldest record dates from 06/16/2008 and the newest record dates from
06/27/2008
