No. 0920–0278, Expiration Date 12/31/ 

2014]–Revision–National Center for 

Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Section 306 of the Public Health 

Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 242k), as 

amended, authorizes that the Secretary 

of Health and Human Services (DHHS), 

acting through NCHS, shall collect 

statistics on ‘‘utilization of health care’’ 

in the United States. The National 

Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care 

Survey (NHAMCS) has been conducted 

annually since 1992. The purpose of 

NHAMCS 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, and ambulatory surgery 

centers. 

The target universe of the NHAMCS is 

in-person visits made to outpatient 

departments (OPDs), emergency 

departments (EDs), and ambulatory 

surgery locations (ASLs) of non-Federal, 

short-stay hospitals (hospitals with an 

average length of stay of less than 30 

days) or those whose specialty is general 

(medical or surgical) or children’s 

general. 

The objective of this revision is to 

make slight modifications to survey 

questions. 

Users of NHAMCS data include, but 

are not limited to, congressional offices, 

Federal agencies, state and local 

governments, schools of public health, 

colleges and universities, private 

industry, nonprofit foundations, 

professional associations, clinicians, 

researchers, administrators, and health 

planners. There are no costs to the 

respondents other than their time. 

The total estimated annualized 

burden hours are 4,412.
