I did suggest healthcare=emergency the other day.

Was thinking about swapping it around to emergency=medical or something
similar, but then just saw emergency=emergency_ward_entrance
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:emergency%3Demergency_ward_entrance ,
which has been used 600 times.

How about changing that to either just =emergency_ward or
=emergency_department?

Unfortunately, it apparently only currently renders as a normal entrance,
without the medical colour scheme. As I also mentioned that could be
rendered as A-E using the hospital white on red colours.

To muddle things further, there's a possibility that healthcare=* POIs

That will be somewhat annoying :-(

 Thanks
