This template adds an automatically generated short description. If the automatic short description is not optimal, replace it by adding {{Short description}} at the top of article.
The {{Infobox hospital}} template formats a right-side infobox to display many data items about a hospital, with the typical labels listed down the left side, and the corresponding data values on the right side of the box.
The template uses several specialized arcane CSS format classes, which makes it very difficult to determine the styles applied to each data item in the infobox.
Usage
Copy-paste the entire unpopulated template below. It will display the infobox on the right. All relevant fields and invisible comments should be left intact for future editors, even if currently unused. All information in the infobox should originate in the article and be cited there.

Any parameter indicated as free-form text is not automatically wikified/wiki-linked, but may be manually wiki-linked within a particular article that uses this template:
| affiliation = [[Kings College]]
Article subject
name
The hospital name. When not specified, it defaults to the Wikipedia article's title ({{PAGENAME}}).
org/group
Optional; used if the hospital is part of a wider organisation or group. Examples would be the name of a private company owning and running a number of different hospitals, in the UK may be used to specify the NHS Trust (these may operate several hospitals in a locality), other organisations might include Aga Khan Hospital or Aga Khan Health Services.
Images
logo
Optional; an image name for the hospital's logo or crest.
logo_size
Optional; a width for the logo. When not specified, it defaults to frameless which uses the size in each user's Preferences (ranges from 120px to 300px).
Optional; image name for an illustration or photograph of the hospital.
image_size
Optional; a width for the image. When not specified, it defaults to frameless which uses the size in each user's Preferences (ranges from 120px to 300px).
The parameter location was originally used to specify manually wiki-linked (or unlinked) location details because region (city or county), state (or province), and country used automatic wiki-linking. That is no longer the case, so any of those parameters can be used. They will display in the infobox as: location, region, state, country.
location
Optional location details displayed before region (city or county), state, and country. This is not automatically wiki-linked.
region
The city or county. This is not automatically wiki-linked.
state
The state or province. This is not automatically wiki-linked.
For Canada this is the relevant Province
For the UK this is either England, Northern Ireland, Scotland or Wales.
For the US this is the relevant US State.
country
The country name. This is not wiki-linked. The template also recognizes the following two-letter abbreviations and will display the associated country name as shown: AU = Australia, CA = Canada, HK = Hong Kong, IE = Ireland, IN = India, IL = Israel, KE = Kenya, NZ = New Zealand, NO = Norway, PH = Philippines, PK = Pakistan, SA = South Africa, TZ = Tanzania, UK = United Kingdom, US = United States.
Note: The country parameter is also used in the Links section of the infobox to display a link to [[List of hospitals in Country]] if such a page exists. For hospitals in the UK or US, the state parameter is used to display a link to [[List of hospitals in State]] if such a page exists, or the country list if not (works only when country is one of the following: UK, United Kingdom, US, United States).
Organisation
(displayed as 'Organization' if country set as Canada or United States, to maintain spelling consistency within articles)
healthcare
This indicates the insurance status of the hospital. This is generally a free-form text item.
However for certain countries, specific values of healthcare are wiki-linked:
any other value is displayed as free-form text, which may be manually wiki-linked
religious_affiliation
This free-form text gives the religion that the hospital is associated with. Hidden if undefined.
affiliation
This free-form text gives the Medical School that may be associated with the hospital. Hidden if undefined and may be set to 'None' if known that there is no affilication for that hospital.
network
This free-form text gives the hospital network to which the hospital may belong. This is different from an entity that may own the hospital (which belongs in org/group).
Services
standards
This optional parameter provides details of Quality Standards that the hospital may have achieved and is meant to be used for hospitals where there are no automatic national standards and external internal organisations (e.g. ISO) have been invited in to provide certification.
Emergency Department and Trauma provision
The deprecated certification parameter was US-centric and referred to the externally assessed level of trauma care that the hospital is rated to manage. However, for hospitals outside of the US, editors confused this for Quality Standards certification, for which the standards parameter is now provided.
emergency
is the new more generic parameter. It is generally free-form text, however certain countries have tended to use the alternative name of "Accident & Emergency" for this service, and all but Canada and the US generally specify whether or not an Emergency Department is operational or not. Canada, Israel, and the US have 5 levels of trauma care provision assessible.
Where type=Specialist, this parameter is used to specify the particular medical or surgical speciality (leave the parameter undefined if the hospital has a broad spectrum of specialities and one happens to be more famous than the rest). Where type=Teaching, this parameter is optional, since teaching hospitals may encompass the full spectrum of clinical specialities or be a single specialist centre.
These parameters specify details for each helipad in the "Helipads" section. Parameters start with h1- for the first helipad, h2- for the second helipad, up to h12- for the twelfth helipad. This section is optional and only appears if the h1- parameters are specified.
hn-number(h1-number, h2-number, ...)
The designation of the helipad. In the United States this is usually the letter "H" followed by a number, i.e. "H1", "H2", etc.
hn-length-f (h1-length-f, h2-length-f, ...)
Helipad length in feet.
hn-length-m (h1-length-m, h2-length-m, ...)
Helipad length in metres.
hn-surface (h1-surface, h2-surface, ...)
Helipad surface type, such as: Concrete, Asphalt, etc. Avoid the generic type "Paved" if possible.
History
former-names
Optional; names that were used by the hospital before its current name.
constructed
The date the construction of the hospital started.
opened
The year or full date that the hospital opened.
closed
Optional; year or date when a hospital closed.
demolished
Optional; year or date when demolished, if different from closure.
Links
website
Please give the full URL address using the {{URL}} template. If the hospital has no web presence, then leave this blank. Also will not display if set to N/A, n/a, None, or none.
| website = Does not display the parameter at all
| website = None Does not display the parameter at all
| website = {{URL|example.com}} Displays as: example.com
other_links
Used to specify free-form text links to related material. Must be manually wiki-linked.
The template automatically generates a link to [[List of hospitals in Country]] based on the '''country''' parameter (if such a page exists). For the UK or US, the '''state''' parameter is used to display a link to <nowiki>[[List of hospitals in State]] if such a page exists, or the country list if not (works only when country is one of the following: UK, United Kingdom, US, United States).
(This works even if country parameter is set to the 2-letter ISO code for Australia, Canada, Ireland, India, Kenya, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa, Tanzania, United Kingdom or United States. Also note that the wording of the Wikipedia 'List' article has additional definite article 'the' added for 'the United Kingdom' and 'the United States' and Ireland's list is for 'the Republic of Ireland').
Any free-form text passed by other_links parameter are shown on a new line if an autolink has already been displayed.
If a location map is specified, the coordinates= parameter, used with {{Coord}}, will display the location on a map. For details on how to add the latitude and longitude of the building, see the documentation for {{Coord}}.
To display coordinates at the top of the page only, set display=title within {{Coord}}; to display them in the infobox and the title, set display=inline,title. Otherwise, coordinates will appear only in the infobox.

Microformat
The HTML mark up produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the place-name and location parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue article across Wikipedia, or via a browser tool operated by a person, to (for example) add the subject to an address book. Within the hCard is a Geo microformat, which additionally makes the coordinates (latitude & longitude) parsable, so that they can be, say, looked up on a map, or downloaded to a GPS unit. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.
Geo is produced by calling {{coord}}, and uses HTML classes:
geo
latitude
longitude
Please do not rename or remove these classes; nor collapse nested elements which use them.
When giving coordinates, please don't be overly precise.
