• Description:
  The estimates in this report highlight the findings of the 1976 National Ambulatory MedicaI Care Survey (NAMCS), a sample survey designed to explore the provision and utilization of ambulatory care in the physician’s office—the setting where most Americans seek health care. The survey is conducted yearly in the coterminous United States by the Division of Health Resources Utilization Statistics. The survey sample is selected from doctors of medicine and osteopathy who are principally engaged in office-based, patient-care practice. In its current scope, NAMCS excludes physicians practicing in Alaska and Hawaii; physicians whose specialty is anesthesiology, pathology, or radiology; physicians in Federal service.
