Proposed Project

    The National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS), (OMB No. 0920-
0234, expires 12/31/2017)--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, acting through NCHS, shall collect statistics on the 
utilization of health care provided by non-federal office-based 
physicians in the United States. On December 19, 2014, the OMB approved 
data collection for three years from 2015 to 2017. This revision is to 
request approval to continue NAMCS data collection activities for three 
years from 2016-2018 and to add questions to the physician interview 
that pertain to policies, services, and experiences related to the 
prevention and treatment of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and 
HIV prevention among adolescents

and others. Small modifications will also be made to questions on the 
use of electronic health records. This notice also covers a decrease in 
the sample size resulting from smaller budget allocations and 
oversampling in previous years. Due to this decrease, selected state 
estimates will not be available for 2016-2018 data.
    The National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS) has been 
conducted intermittently from 1973 through 1985, and annually since 
1989. The purpose of NAMCS, a voluntary survey, 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 universe consists of all office visits made by 
ambulatory patients to non-Federal office-based physicians (excluding 
those in the specialties of anesthesiology, radiology, and pathology)

level providers (i.e., nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and 
nurse midwives) practicing in community health centers (CHCs) were 
added to the NAMCS sample, and these data will continue to be 
collected.
    To complement NAMCS data, NCHS initiated the National Hospital 
Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NHAMCS, OMB No. 0920-0278, expires 02/
28/18) in 1992 to provide data concerning patient visits to hospital 
outpatient and emergency departments. NAMCS and NHAMCS are the 
principal sources of data on ambulatory care provided in the United 
States.
