1. National Hospital Ambulatory

Medical Care Survey—(0920–0278)—

Extension—The National Hospital

Ambulatory Medical Care Survey

(NHAMCS) has been conducted

annually since 1992 by the Division of

Health Care Statistics, National Center

for Health Statistics, CDC. The

NHAMCS is the principal source of data

on the approximately 158 million visits

to hospital emergency and outpatient

departments and is the only source of

nationally representative estimates on

the demographic characteristics of

outpatients, diagnoses, diagnostic

services, medication therapy, and the

patterns of use of care in hospitals

which differ in size, location, and

ownership. Additionally, the NHAMCS

is the only source of national estimates

on non-fatal causes of injury in the

emergency department.
