ADHS inspects, certifies and licenses medical health care institutions and providers of medical services, child care centers, business hearing dispensers, and DUI and domestic violence treatment centers. Each month, an extract from the ADHS Division of Licensing SQL view is geocoded using ADHS's internal geocoder, and post-processed using a Python script to create feature classes by facility type. Tabular data is maintained by each respective bureau in the licensing division, while the GIS Team extracts the data and creates GIS layers and shares them publicly. ADHS Division of Licensing Mission Statement: To protect the health and safety of Arizonans by providing information, establishing standards, and licensing and regulating health and child care services. Last updated: February 2025Update Frequency: MonthlyData FAQs:Some records have “license_expiration” earlier than the “rundate” while the “OPERTION_STATUS” is “ACTIVE”, should we treat all records with “OPERATION_STATUS” of “ACTIVE” as open at the time the data is released? Answer: Yes - ACTIVE is all the current licenses. In 2019 there was a perpetual rule change that affected certain facilities so in lieu of an expiration date, we began tracking the annual fee due date in the "license_expiration" field. Per rule, these facilities can submit annual requirements up to 30 days after the fee due date (aka license expiration in the provider database) so we do expect some to be earlier than the run date. Is the FACID of the same facility maintained unique and same throughout all releases? If a facility is purchased by a different company or has it’s name changed, is the FACID changed? Answer: The FACID represents a licensed premise - in many cases the facility ID is maintained when purchased by a different owner but under federal rule, certain facilities may choose to have a new CMS certification number which would require a new FACID be issued for that premise. What’s the unit type of capacities for different categories? Answer: This varies - it can be child capacity, bed count, dialysis station, etc. For Group_Home_for_Individuals_with_a_Developmental_Disability and Residential_Facility, how to tell if the employer’s office is at the facility VS the employer’s office is somewhere else and employees are sent to those facilities? Also is there a way to tell if a facility only has part time workers (Like workers only need to be at the residential facility less than 8hr per day or less than 5 days a week )? Answer: This is not currently available on the public databaseThe data contains a 'COUNTY' field and a "N_County' field - which one should I use to filter results? Answer: N_County - this is the county that's assigned when a record is geocoded using the physical street address, vs one that is assigned manually during the licensing process.
