National Center for Health Statistics. Section I, "Description of the
National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey," includes information on the
scope of the survey, the sample, field activities, data collection
procedures, medical coding procedures, population estimates, and sampling
errors. Section II provides technical details of the tape (number of
tracks, record length, etc.), and a detailed description of the contents of
each data record by location. Section III contains marginal data or
estimates for each item on the data record in Section II. The appendixes
contain sampling errors, instructions and definitions for completing the
patient record form, and lists of codes used in the survey.
Introduction
This Micro-Data Tape comprises the data collected by the National
Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS) in 1989, conducted by the National
Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). The National Ambulatory Medical Care
Survey provides data from samples of patient records selected from a
national sample of office-based physicians. These national estimates
describe the utilization of ambulatory medical care services in the United
States. In 1990 there were approximately 43,469 patient records provided
by 1,684 doctors that participated in the survey. For a brief description
of the survey design and data collection procedures, see below. For a more
detailed description of the survey design, data collection procedures, and
the estimation process see references 1 and 2.
There are two important points relative to analyzing data from this
micro-data tape that should be noted:
1-Micro-data tape users should be fully aware of the importance of
the "patient weight" and how it must be used. Information about
the patient weight is presented on page 13. If more information is
needed the staff of the Ambulatory Care Statistics Branch can be
consulted by calling 301/436-7132 during regular working hours.
2-Users should also be aware of the reliability or unreliability of
certain estimates, particularly the smaller estimates. The
National Center for Health Statistics, which conducts many health
surveys of the American people, considers an estimate to be
reliable if it has a relative standard error of 30% or less.
Therefore, it is important to know the value of the lowest
possible estimate in this survey that is considered reliable, so as
not to present data in a journal article or paper that may be
unreliable. Most data tape users can obtain an adequate working
knowledge of the relative standard error from the information
presented in the Appendix. If you would like more information, do
not hesitate to consult the staff of the Ambulatory Care Statistics
Branch.

METHODOLOGY
Scope of the Survey
The basic sampling unit for the NAMCS is the physician-patient encounter
or visit. Only visits in the offices of nonfederally employed physicians
classified by the American Medical Association (AMA) or the American
Osteopathic Association (AOA) as "office-based, patient care" were
included in the 1990 NAMCS. In addition, physicians in the specialties
of anesthesiology, pathology, and radiology were excluded from the
physician universe. Major types of ambulatory encounters not included in
the 1990 NAMCS were those made by telephone, those made outside of the
physician's office, and those made in hospital or institutional settings.
Sampling Frame and Size of Sample
The sampling frame for the 1990 NAMCS was composed of all physicians
contained in the master files maintained by the AMA and AOA as of
December 31, 1989, who met the following criteria:
Office-based, as defined by the AMA and AOA:
Principally engaged in patient care activities;
Nonfederally employed;
Not in specialties of anesthesiology, pathology, and radiology.
The 1990 NAMCS sample included 3,063 physicians: 2,770 MD's and
293 doctors of osteopathy. Sample physicians were screened at the time
of the survey to assure that they met the above-mentioned criteria, 794
physicians did not meet all of the criteria and were, therefore, ruled
out of scope (ineligible) for the study. The most frequent reasons for
being out of scope were that the physician was retired, deceased, or
employed in teaching, research, or administration. Of the 2,269 in-scope
(eligible) physicians, 74 percent, participated in the study. The
physician universe, sample size, and response rates by physician
specialty are shown in table I. Of the participating physicians, 237 saw
no patients during their assigned reporting period because of vacations,
illness, or other reasons for being temporarily not in practice.
Sample Design
The 1990 NAMCS utilized a multistage probability design that involved
probability samples of primary sampling units (PSU's), physician
practices within PSU's, and patient visits within practices. The
first-stage sample included 112 PSU's. A PSU is a county, a group of
adjacent counties, or a standard metropolitan statistical area (SMSA).
The second stage consisted of a probability sample of practicing
physicians selected from the master files maintained by the American
Medical Association (AMA) and American Osteopathic Association (AOA).
Within each PSU, all eligible physicians were stratified by fifteen
specialty groups: general and family practice, osteopathy, internal
medicine, pediatrics, general surgery, obstetrics and gynecology,
orthopedic surgery, cardiovascular disease, dermatology, urology,
psychiatry, neurology, ophthalmology, otolaryngology, and all other
specialties.
The final stage was the selection of patient visits within the annual
practices of sample physicians. This involved two steps. First,
the total physician sample was divided into 52 random subsamples of
approximately equal size, and each subsample was randomly assigned to 1
of the 52 weeks in the survey year. Second, a systematic random sample
of visits was selected by the physician during the assigned week. The
sampling rate varied for this final step from a 100-percent sample for
very small practices to a 20-percent sample for very large practices as
determined in a presurvey interview. The method by which the sampling
rate was determined is described in reference 3.
Field Activities
The first contact with the sample physician is through a letter from the
Director, NCHS, which may be accompanied by a letter from one of the 16
national medical associations that endorse the NAMCS providing the
physician is a member of one or more of these associations. After the
physician has received the introductory letter(s) the field representative
telephones the physician to set up an appointment with him or her to
discuss the survey and instruct the doctor on how to complete the forms.
Data Collection
The actual data collection for the NAMCS was carried out by the physician
aided by his office staff when possible. Two data collection forms were
employed by the physician: The Patient Log and the Patient Record
(Figure 1). The Patient Log is used to sequentially list patients seen
in the physician's office during his assigned reporting week. This list
served as the sampling frame to indicate the visit for which data were to
be recorded. A perforation between the patient names and patient visit
characteristics permitted the physician to remove patient names and
protect confidentiality.
Based on the physician's estimate of the expected number of office visits
each physician was assigned a patient-sampling ratio. These ratios were
designed so that about 30 Patient Records were completed during the
assigned reporting week. Physicians expecting 10 or fewer visits each
day recorded data for all of them, while those expecting more than 10
visits per day recorded data for every second, third, or fifth visit
based on the predetermined sampling interval. These procedures minimized
the data collection workload and maintained approximately equal reporting
levels among sample physicians regardless of practice size. For
physicians assigned a patient sampling ratio, a random start was provided
on the first page of the log, so that predesignated sample visits on each
succeeding page of the log provided a systematic random sample of patient
visits during the reporting period.
Data Processing
In addition to the completeness checks made by the field staff, clerical
edits were performed upon receipt of the data for central processing.
These procedures proved quite efficient, reducing the item nonresponse
rates to a negligible amount--6 percent or less for all data items.
Information from the Induction Interview and Patient Record was
keypunched, with 100-percent verification and converted to computer tape.
Extensive computer consistency and edit checks were also performed. Data
items still unanswered at this point were imputed by randomly assigning a
value from a Patient Record with similar characteristics; imputations
were based on physician specialty and broad diagnostic categories.
Medical Coding
The patient record form contains three medical items, each of which
requires a separate coding system. The three coding systems are
described briefly below. A two-way independent verification procedure
was used to control the medical coding operation. Differences between
coders were adjudicated by a third coder. Definitions of the three
medical items are on pages 31 and 33 of this documentation.
(A) Patient's Reason for Visit: Information contained in
item 9 (patient's reason for visit) of the Patient Record
was coded according to an updated version of A Reason for Visit
Classification for Ambulatory Care (RVC).4/ The updated classification
has not been published as of this writing but the list of codes is
contained in Appendix II. The classification was updated to
incorporate several new codes as well as changes to existing codes.
The system continues to utilize a modular structure composed of seven
modules. The digits 1 through 8 precede the 3-digit RVC codes
to identify the various modules as follows:
Prefix Module
"1" = symptom module
"2" = disease module
"3" = diagnostic, screening, and preventive module
"4" = treatment module
"5" = injuries and adverse effects module
"6" = test results module
"7" = administrative module
"8" = Uncodable entries
"9" = special code = blank
A maximum of 3 reasons were coded, in sequence; coding
instructions concerning the patient reason for visit are
contained in the NAMCS Medical Coding Manual.7/ Copies are
available upon request.
(B) Physician's Diagnoses: Diagnostic information in
item 10 of the Patient Record was coded according to the
International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision,
Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM).5/ For 1990 NAMCS
micro-data tape tabulations involving principal diagnoses,
the following characteristics exist:
1. The prefix "1" preceding the diagnostic codes has
been added to identify all codes in the range
001.00-999.90, e.g. '138100' = '381.00' = Acute
nonsupporative otitis media, unspecified.
2. The prefix "20" preceding diagnostic codes
represents V code diagnoses V01.00-V82.90, e.g.
'201081' = 'V10.81' = personal history of malignant
neoplasm of bone. In other words, change the "20"
to "V."
NOTE: The use of prefixes facilitates the
calculation of percent distributions, while
substituting "20" for the letter "V" allows
that all diagnostic fields on the data tape will
contain numerical data.
3. In addition to the diagnostic codes from the
ICD-9-CM there are 3 unique codes in the diagnostic
fields that were developed by the NAMCS staff:
209900 = - noncodable diagnosis
- insufficient information for coding
- illegible diagnosis
209970 = diagnosis of "none"
900000 = blank diagnosis
A maximum of three diagnoses were coded in sequence:
coding instructions concerning diagnoses are contained
in the NAMCS Medical Coding Manual.7/
(C) Medication Therapy This Visit: The NAMCS drug data
in item 15 have been classified and coded according to a
unique classification scheme6/ developed at NCHS. A list
of the drug codes are in Appendix III. The patient record
form allows for the recording of up to 5 drugs. The tape
format includes a corresponding allocation of drug fields.
More complete coding lists and instructions for using the NAMCS 1990 drug
information are contained in the publication entitled: "The Collection
and Processing of Drug Information, National Ambulatory Medical Care
Survey, United States, 1980."8/ Copies are available upon request.
It should be noted that a substantial amount of information concerning
each drug is not contained in these data. This additional drug
information is contained in a special NAMCS Drug File and is available as
a separate micro-data tape.* For information on ordering the micro-data
tape for drugs, interested persons should contact the Ambulatory Care
Statistics Branch, Division of Health Care Statistics, Room 9-52, 6525
Belcrest Road, Hyattsville, Maryland 20782. The telephone number is
301/436-7132.
POPULATION FIGURES
The base population used in computing annual visit rates is
presented in table II. These figures are based on provisional
estimates for the civilian noninstitutionalized population as
of July 1, 1990, provided by the U.S. Bureau of the Census.
The population estimates are presented here solely for the
purpose of providing denominators for rate computation and
should not be considered as official population estimates.
*It should be noted, however, that it is not possible to link the
information on the drug file with the information on the patient file.
ESTIMATION PROCEDURES
Statistics produced from the 1990 National Ambulatory Medical
Care Survey were derived by a multistage estimating procedure.
The procedure produces essentially unbiased national estimates
and has basically three components: (1) inflation by
reciprocals of the probabilities of selection, (2) adjustment
for nonresponse, and (3) a ratio adjustment to fixed totals.
Each of these components is described briefly below.
(1) INFLATION BY RECIPROCALS OF SAMPLING
PROBABILITIES.--Since the survey utilized a
three-stage sample design, there were three
probabilities: (A) The probability of
selecting the PSU, (B) the probability of
selecting a physician within the PSU, and
(C) the probability of selecting a patient
visit within the physician's practice. The
last probability was defined to be the
exact number of office visits during the
physician's specified reporting week
divided by the number of Patient Records
completed. All weekly estimates were
inflated by a factor of 52 to derive annual
estimates.
(2) ADJUSTMENT FOR NONRESPONSE--Estimates
from the NAMCS data were adjusted to
account for sample physicians who did not
participate in the study. This was done in
such a manner as to minimize the impact of
nonresponse on final estimates by imputing
to nonresponding physicians the practice
characteristics of similar responding
physicians. For this purpose, similar
physicians were judged to be physicians
having the same specialty designation and
practicing in the same PSU.
(3) RATIO-ADJUSTMENT.--A
poststratification adjustment was made
within each of fifteen physician specialty
groups. The ratio adjustment is a
multiplication factor which had as its
numerator the number of physicians in the
universe in each physician specialty group,
and as its denominator the estimated number
of physicians in that particular specialty
group. The numerator was based on figures
obtained from the AMA-AOA master files, and
the denominator was based on data from the
sample.
SAMPLING ERRORS
Procedures for calculating sampling errors as well as
estimates of standard errors of statistics derived from
the NAMCS are described in the technical notes of
reference 2 or 10, as well as Appendix I of this document.
PATIENT WEIGHT
The "patient weight" is a vital component in the
process of producing national estimates from sample data
and its use should be clearly understood by all micro-data
tape users. The statistics contained on the micro-data
tape reflect data concerning only a sample of patient
visits--and not a complete count of all the visits that
occurred in the United States. Each record on the data tape
represents one visit in the sample of 43,469 visits. In
order to obtain national estimates from the sample, each
record is assigned an inflation factor called the "patient
weight".
By aggregating the "patient weights" on the 43,469 sample
records for 1990 the user can obtain the total of 704,603,932
estimated visits made by all patients in the United States.
The marginal tables on pages 23 to 27 contain data on numbers
of records for selected variables as well as the corresponding
national estimated number of visits obtained by aggregating
the "patient weights" on those records.

Appendix I
Provisional Relative Standard Errors
The standard error is primarily a measure of the sampling variability that
occurs by chance because only a sample is surveyed, rather than the entire
universe. The relative standard error (R.S.E.) of an estimate is obtained
by dividing the standard error of the estimate by the estimate itself and
is expressed as a percentage of the estimate.

ITEM 8 - WAS PATIENT REFERRED FOR THIS VISIT BY ANOTHER PHYSICIAN?
This item is intended to provide an idea of the "flow" of ambulatory patients
from one physician to another. This item concerns referral to the sample
physician by a different physician. The counterpart to this item is box 5 of
Item 16 which concerns referrals by the sample physician to another physi-
cian.
The interest is in referrals for this visit and not in referrals for any
prior visit. Referrals are any visits that are made because of the advice or
direction of a physician other than the one being visited.
ITEM 9 - PATIENT'S COMPLAINT(S), SYMPTOM(S) OR OTHER REASON(S) FOR THIS
VISIT (in patient's own words)
(1) We want the patient's principal complaint, symptom or other reason
as it seems to the patient. The physician may recognize right away,
or may find out after examination, that the real problem is some-
thing entirely different, but here we are interested in how the
patient defines his trouble.
(2) The item (like all other items on the Patient Record) refers to
patient's complaint, symptom or other reason for this visit.
Conceivably, the patient may be in treatment for a serious illness,
but if his principal problem on this visit is a cut finger or a
twisted ankle, that is the information we want.
(3) The complaint or symptom should be described in the patient's own
words. We will obtain the physician's diagnosis in Item 10. Here
we want the patient's description of the problem: "pain in chest,"
"cramps after eating," or whatever.
Space has been allotted for: (a) most important, and (b) other complaints,
symptoms, and reasons, if mentioned by patient. In actuality we code up to
three patient problems regardless of whether they are listed in (a) or (b),
or both. They are coded in the order they are listed.
There will, of course, be visits by patients for reasons other than some
complaint or symptom. Examples might be: annual checkup, routine prenatal
or postnatal care. In such cases, the physician should simply enter the
reason for the visit. (But remember that if the reason for patient visit was
only to pay a bill or ask the physician to fill out an insurance form or to
drop off a specimen, no Patient Record should be completed.
ITEM 10 - PHYSICIAN'S DIAGNOSES
This item should never be blank.
a. Under "PRINCIPAL DIAGNOSIS" record best assessment of diagnosis
associated with the patient's most important complaint/reason in Item 9.
If possible, enter a final or provisional diagnosis; otherwise diagnosis
may be expressed in "problem" terms.
If no diagnosis exists for the reason in Item 9 (e.g., visits for
well-person exam), enter "well person" or other appropriate description
of the situation.
ITEM 11 - HAVE YOU SEEN PATIENT BEFORE?
"Seen," means "provided care for" at any time in the past. If no (never
saw patient before), the physician marks that box and goes on to Item 12.
If he marks "Yes," he must also answer the sub-question: Has he seen
this patient before for the condition diagnosed in Item 10?
ITEM 12 - DIAGNOSTIC/SCREENING SERVICES
Check appropriate boxes for all services ordered or provided during this
visit.
1. None: Self-explanatory
2. Pap test: Papanicolaou test
3. Pelvic exam: Self-explanatory
4. Breast palpation: Manual examination to detect abnormalities.

13. Oral glucose tolerance: An oral test taken to measure a patient's
glucose level.
14. Cholesterol measure: A blood test taken to measure the level of
cholesterol in a patient's blood.
15. HIV Serology: The study of the HIV antigen-antibody reaction in
vitro.
16. Other Blood Test: Self-explanatory
17. Other(specify): Services not listed or included in the boxes above.
Any such "other" services should be described on the
line provided.

1. None
2. Weight Reduction
3. Cholesterol Reduction
4. Smoking Cessation
5. HIV Transmission
6. Breast Self-exam
7. Other
The physician should check each box for which he or she ordered or provided
counseling, advice, education, instructions, or recommendations to the
patient during this visit.
ITEM 14 - NON-MEDICATION THERAPY
Check all services, ordered or provided at this visit.
1. None.
2. PSYCHOTHERAPY: All treatments designed to produce a mental or
emotional response through suggestion, persuasion, reeducation,
reassurance, or support, including psychological counseling hypnosis,
psychoanalysis, and transactional therapy.
3. CORRECTIVE LENSES: Provision, ordering or prescription for glasses

that are not listed or included in the preceding categories.
ITEM 15 - MEDICATION THERAPY THIS VISIT:
List all medications, including biologicals, ordered, injected, administered,
or otherwise provided at this visit. Include nonprescription as well as
prescription drugs. Use the same specific drug name (brand or generic) that
you used on any prescription or office medical record. Do not enter broad
drug classes, such as "laxative" or "cough preparation". Limit entries to
drug name only. Additional information such as dosage strength or regimen is
not required. Check "yes" or "no" before each drug name to indicate whether
the drug is a new prescription for this patient.
Check "yes" or "no" after drug name to indicate whether or not the drug was
provided/prescribed for the principal diagnosis in Item 10.
ITEM 16 - DISPOSITION THIS VISIT
Eight codes are provided to describe the physician's disposition of the case
on this visit. The physician should mark as many categories as apply.
DISPOSITION DEFINITION
1. No Follow-up Planned: No return visit or telephone
contact is scheduled for the
patient's problem on this visit.
2. Return at Specified Time: The patient is told to schedule an
appointment or is instructed to return
at a particular time.
3. Return if Needed, P.R.N.: No future appointment is made, but the
patient is instructed to make an
appointment with the physician if the
patient considers it necessary.
(P.R.N., pro re nata, as necessary, as the
occasion arises.)
4. Telephone Follow-up The patient is instructed to telephone
Planned: the physician on a particular day (to
report on this progress), or if the need
arises (if he has any trouble or wishes
further consultation.
5. Referred to Other The patient is instructed to consult or
Physician: seek care from another physician. The
patient may or may not return to this
physician at a later date.
6. Returned to Referring Patient was referred to this physician
Physician: and is now instructed to consult again
with the physician who referred him.
7. Admit to Hospital: Patient is instructed that further care
or treatment will be provided in a
hospital. No further office visits are
expected prior to that admission.
8. Other (Specify): Any other disposition of the case not
included in the above categories. Any
such "other" disposition should be
described on the line provided.
ITEM 17 - DURATION OF THIS VISIT
Include here the entire time the doctor spent with the patient. DO NOT
include the time patient spent waiting to see the doctor. DO NOT include the
time patient spent receiving care from someone other than the doctor.
For example, the nurse gave the patient an inoculation, or a technician
administered an electrocardiogram. It is entirely possible that for visits
such as these, the patient would not see the doctor at all. In that case,
zero minutes should be entered in Item 17. The intent of this item is to get
the total time spent in face-to-face contact with the doctor.
If more than one patient is seen by the doctor at the same time, apply the
following rule:
If the doctor can easily segregate the time spent with each (e.g., 3 minutes
with one and 27 minutes with the other), he should record that on the patient
record forms. If he cannot estimate how much time was spent with each, he
should divide the total time equally among the patients seen together.
DEFINITIONS OF CERTAIN TERMS USED IN THIS DOCUMENT
Office(s).--Premises that the physician identifies as locations for his
ambulatory practice. Responsibility over time for patient care and
professional services rendered there generally resides with the individual
physician rather than with any institution.
Visit.--A direct, personal exchange between ambulatory patient and the
physician (or members of his staff) for the purpose of seeking care and
rendering health services.
Ambulatory patient.--An individual presenting for personal health services,
neither bedridden nor currently admitted to any health care institution on
the premises.
Drug mention(s).--The physician's entry of a pharmaceutical agent ordered or
provided--by any route of administration--for prevention, diagnosis, or
treatment. Generic as well as brand-name drugs are included. Along with all
new drugs, the physician also records continued medications, if the patient
was specifically instructed during the visit to continue the medication.
Patients.--Can be classified as either:
In-scope: All patients seen by the physician or member of his staff in his
office(s).
Out-of-scope: Patients seen by the physician in a hospital, nursing home, or
other extended care institution, or the patient's home. Note: If the doctor
has a private office (which fits definition of "office") located in a
hospital, the ambulatory patients seen there would be considered "in-scope."
The following types of patients are also considered out of scope:
patients seen by the physician in any institution (including outpatient
clinics of hospitals) for which the institution has the primary
responsibility for the care of the patient over time.
patients who telephone and receive advice from the physician
patients who come to the office only to leave a specimen, pick up
insurance forms, or pay their bills
patients who come to the office only to pick up medications previously
prescribed by the physician
Physician.--Can be classified as either:
In-Scope: All duly licensed doctors of medicine and doctors of osteopathy
currently in practice who devote most of their practice to caring for
ambulatory patients at an office location.
Out-of-Scope: Those physicians who treat patients only indirectly, including
specialists in anesthesiology, pathology, forensic pathology, radiology,
therapeutic radiology, and diagnostic radiology, and the following physi-
cians.
physicians in military service
physicians who treat patients only in an institutional setting
(e.g., patients in nursing homes and hospitals)
physicians employed full time by an industry or institution and having no
private practice (e.g., physicians who work for the VA, the Ford Motor
Company, etc.)
physicians who either spend no time seeing ambulatory patients or whose
patient-care activity is secondary to another principal activity, such as
teaching, administration, or research.
Physician specialty.--Principal specialty (including general practice) as
designated by the physician at the time of the survey. Those physicians for
whom a specialty was not obtained were assigned the principal specialty
recorded in the Master Physician files maintained by the AMA or AOA.
Region of practice location.--The four geographic regions which correspond to
those used by the U.S. Bureau of the Census, are as follows:
Region States Included
