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
(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.
There is no cost to the respondents
other than their time. Burden hours
have seen a net reduction of 19,876
hours since the previously approved
package, primarily due to a sample size
decrease. Currently, there is not a plan
to include state-based estimates in the
future, unless funding is increased
sufficiently to support oversampling in
the states for which state based
estimates are desired.
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) who are engaged in
direct patient care. In 2006, physicians
and mid-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
