This file originated as a spreadsheet prepared by the Certificate of Need Acute Care Licensure Program, NJDHSS, in 2002. The Center for Health Statistics geocoded the address fields in ArcView 8.1 using Census TIGER 2000 street files obtained from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. In November 2003, attribute information was updated using the online hospital database (<http://www.state.nj.us/health/hcsa/hospitalsearch/index.html>) maintained by the Certificate of Need and Acute Care Licensure program and the Division of Health Care Systems Analysis within the New Jersey Department of Health & Senior Services.
The New Jersey Department of Health & Senior Services (NJDHSS) provides these geographic data "as is." NJDHSS does not guarantee the accuracy of information contained in the geographic or attribute data. Additionally, NJDHSS makes no warrenty regarding the data's fitness for any particular purpose. The burden for determining fitness for use lies entirely with the user.
