National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey, 1976

The National Ambulatory Medical Care Surveys (NAMCS) supply data on ambulatory medical care provided in physicians' offices. These national estimates describe the utilization of ambulatory medical care and the nature and treatment of illness among the population seeking ambulatory care. The survey includes data on date of visit, reason for visit, date of birth, sex and race of patient, diagnosis, treatment, disposition of visit, and the physician's specialty.
