Dataset request: Closest useful facility to hospitals

[lossyrob]

From Dave on Gitter:

1 very interesting idea from talking to a clinician/healthtech friend: if/when demand far outstrips icu capacity in existing facilities, the next steps (or proactively) would be to ID outside facilities for spillover of less sick patients, or to dedicate to covid19 patients

we hear about setting up tent hospitals in parking lots and stuff there's also reopening shutdown hospital facilities, or booking out motels, convention centers, etc

would be very helpful to already have a geo dataset of closest suitable facilities like this to existing health facilities

need to understand more what the criteria for a suitable facility or outside space would be but something like that's very much in our wheelhouse

Great library of resources into healthcare emergency preparedness planning as it relates to identifying and setting up "Alternate Care Sites" away from existing health facilities:

https://asprtracie.hhs.gov/technical-resources/48/alternate-care-sites-including-shelter-medical-care/47

We should look through these documents with the mind to understand what the decisionmaking criteria and prioritization of potential facilities are. What types of facilities are best suited to be Alternate Care Sites and why? What are less ideal but still good? What intuitively seems like they could be sites but actually can't be for what reasons?

Once we have a rough idea of what the Alternate Care Site selection criteria is, we can start bucketing geo points of interests like schools, stadiums, convention centers, etc into this mental model
