• Description:
  Using data from the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS), this report describes an estimated 47,152,000 visits made to the offices of orthopedic surgeons over the 2-year span from January 1975 through Decem­ ber 1976. NAMCS is 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 throughout the coterminous United States by the Division of Health Resources Utilization Statistics of the NaticmaI Center for Health Statistics. The survey sample is selected from doctors of medicine and osteopathy who are principally engaged in office-based, patient-care practice. Excluded from the sample are an indeterminate number of physicians who render some office-based ambu­ latory care but whose patient-care activities are secondary to another primary roIe such as teaching, research, or administration. AISO excluded from the NAMCS scope are physicians who are hospital based; those whose speciaIty is anesthesiology, pathology, or radioIogy; and physicians in Federal Service.
