The North Carolina State Center for Health Statistics in cooperation with the Division of Facility Services in the Department of Health and Human Services, developed the GIS data set, Medical Facility Point Locations, to identify locations of health and medical facilities for the entire State of North Carolina. Point locations were geocoded from the facilities database provided by the Division of Facility Services.
This data set was created to locate health and medical facilities (including hospitals) for the State of North Carolina.

Point attributes were supplied by the Division of Facility Services in the Department of Health and Human Services.
5,379 of the 7,159 addresses had match rates of 100%. Match rates lower than 100% were also considered a match because variables such only had minor errors. The address table and the road file did not coincide because of the currentness of the address table. Minor errors detected from either the road file or the address table include incorrect zip codes, incomplete address ranges and inconsistant road name formats. Addresses with no address ranges were geocoded to the closest road intersection. Addresses with discrepancies and/or improper formats were simply corrected and matched. 352 addresses had zero match rates because roads were non-existant in the road file. Several problems attributed to addresses having zero percent match rates include non-existant roads, non-existant road address ranges and improper zip codes. Facilities with rural routes and post office box addresses also had a zero percent match rate.
Data is complete for 2003.
