Summary
The National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS) is based on outpatient, office-based visits to physicians engaged in direct patient care and is designed to collect data on the provision and use of ambulatory care services. It is a national sample of nonfederally employed physicians and excludes subspecialists in anesthesiology, pathology, and radiology. The 2016 survey included a supplementary survey called the Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services for Office-based Physicians (National CLAS Physician Survey). The purpose of the National CLAS Physician Survey is to understand the provision of culturally and linguistically appropriate services among office-based physicians.
