Proposed Projects

1. National Ambulatory Medical Care

Survey—(0920–0234)—Revision—

(NCHS)—The National Ambulatory

Medical Care Survey (NAMCS) was

conducted annually from 1973 to 1981,

again in 1985, and resumed as an

annual survey in 1989. It is directed by

the Division of Health Care Statistics,

National Center for Health Statistics,

Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention. The purpose of NAMCS is

to meet the needs and demands for

statistical information about the

provision of ambulatory medical care

services in the United States.

Ambulatory services are rendered in a

wide variety of settings, including

physicians’ offices and hospital

outpatient and emergency departments.

The NAMCS target population consists

of all office visits within the United

States made by ambulatory patients to

non-Federal, office-based physicians

(excluding those in the specialties of

anesthesiology, radiology, and

pathology) who are engaged in direct

patient care. Since more than 80 percent

of all direct ambulatory medical care

visits occur in physicians’ offices, the

NAMCS provides data on the majority

of ambulatory medical care services. To

complement these data, in 1992 NCHS

initiated the National Hospital

Ambulatory Medical Care Survey

(NHAMCS, OMB No. 0920–0278) to

provide data concerning patient visits to

hospital outpatient and emergency

departments. The NAMCS, together

with the NHAMCS, constitute the

ambulatory component of the National

Health Care Survey (NHCS) and will

provide coverage of more than 90

percent of ambulatory medical care.

The NAMCS provides a range of

baseline data on the characteristics of

the users and providers of ambulatory

medical care. Data collected include the

patients’ demographic characteristics

and reason(s) for visit, and the

physicians’ diagnosis(es) and diagnostic

services, medications and disposition.

These data, together with trend data,

may be used to monitor the effects of

change in the health care system,

provide new insights into ambulatory

medical care, and stimulate further

research on the use, organization, and

delivery of ambulatory care.

Users of NAMCS data include, but are

not limited to, congressional and other

federal government agencies such as

NIH and FDA, state and local

governments, medical schools, schools

of public health, colleges and

universities, private businesses,

nonprofit foundations and corporations,

professional associations, as well as

individual practitioners, researchers,

administrators and health planners.

Uses vary from the inclusion of a few

selected statistics in a large research

effort, to an in-depth analysis of the

entire NAMCS data set covering several

years.

To calculate the burden hours, the

number of respondents for NAMCS is

based on a sample of 6,000 physicians

with a 50 percent participation rate (this

includes physicians who are out-ofscope as well as those who refuse). The

total annualized burden is estimated to

be 11,225 hours.
