The Department of Health had provided a list of commonwealth hospital declarations at https://www1.health.gov.au/internet/main/publishing.nsf/Content/hospitals2.htm with an Excel file named after "All declared hospital current as "DD MonthName YYYY.xlsx". To make the data entry of facility ID easier, a lookup service based on such file is created, well reflected in the UI/UX of this app.
Remarks:
Most hospital names are unique, with 1 to 1 mapping with Facility ID. However, there are a few Facility ID/Provider Number each of which is mapped to multiple hospital names, and a few hospital names identical each of which is mapped to different Facility ID. The UI of this app takes good care of common scenarios and exceptional scenarios.
