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. NCHS is seeking OMB approval to extend this survey for an additional three years. The target universe of the NHAMCS is in-person visits made to emergency departments (EDs) of non-Federal, shortstay hospitals (hospitals with an average length of stay of less than 30 days) that have at least 6 beds for inpatient use, and with a specialty of general (medical or surgical) or children’s general. NHAMCS was initiated to complement the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS, OMB No. 0920–0234, Exp. Date 05/31/2022), which provides similar data concerning patient visits to physicians’ offices. NAMCS and NHAMCS are the principal sources of data on ambulatory care provided in the United States. E:\FR\FM\17APN1.SGM 17APN1 21441 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 75 / Friday, April 17, 2020 / Notices NHAMCS provides a range of baseline data on the characteristics of the users and providers of hospital ambulatory medical care. Data collected include patients’ demographic characteristics, reason(s) for visit, providers’ diagnoses, 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, for the planning of health services, improving medical education, determining health care work force needs, and assessing the health status of the population. Starting 2018, NHAMCS was modified to assess only hospital emergency departments. The survey components that assessed hospital outpatient departments and ambulatory surgery locations were discontinued. 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. The burden is to complete the 2020 data collection which is currently underway and collect data over the following three years (2021–2023) without change to the current survey activities. However, starting with 2021 data collection, the Assurance of Confidentiality statement will be updated to the new citation for the Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act (CIPSEA) language. There are no costs to the respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 1,500. The adjusted increase of 712 burden hours is due to the new method of calculating burden to include all sampled hospitals.

emergency departments (EDs) of non-Federal, short-stay hospitals
(hospitals with an average length of stay of less than 30 days) that
have at least 6 beds for inpatient use, and with a specialty of general

complement the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS, OMB No.

concerning patient visits to physicians' offices. NAMCS and NHAMCS are
the principal sources of data on ambulatory care provided in the United
