I would not be too comfortable with that, hospitals (at least in Poland) often have
legal structure not matching reality (1 legal hospital that is actually 3 locations or
one location that technically is two legal entities)

So you may find "no emergency walk-in" on the official page
because it is existing as a separate legal entity.

Also, it is really easy to find outdated info. And in some cases it will be 
to hard to even find website.

That is an easy part. But remote fixing is rarely possible as often you will have no idea
where entrance is located.
