Overview
• Updates to NAMCS and new items on the Physician Induction Interview (PII)
• User considerations
• Methodological studies
• HIPAA
• Data dissemination
• NCHS Research Data Center
![Page 64: 1 Linda McCaig and David Woodwell 2006 Data Users Conference July 11, 2006 Analyzing Data from the NAMCS and NHAMCS.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56649e245503460f94b12bba/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)

– MDs, DOs, mid-level providers
• New stratum of oncologists (n=200)
• Increased sample to primary care physicians (n=50 each GFP, IM, OB/GYN)
![Page 65: 1 Linda McCaig and David Woodwell 2006 Data Users Conference July 11, 2006 Analyzing Data from the NAMCS and NHAMCS.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56649e245503460f94b12bba/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)

67
NAMCS induction form- new items for 2007-08
• Length of time for appointment
• Telemedicine
![Page 68: 1 Linda McCaig and David Woodwell 2006 Data Users Conference July 11, 2006 Analyzing Data from the NAMCS and NHAMCS.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56649e245503460f94b12bba/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
68
Encounter vs. person data
• NAMCS and NHAMCS are record-based surveys
• Estimates are in terms of visits and not persons
• Not population-based surveys (NHIS)
• Cannot calculate incidence or prevalence rates from our estimates
![Page 69: 1 Linda McCaig and David Woodwell 2006 Data Users Conference July 11, 2006 Analyzing Data from the NAMCS and NHAMCS.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56649e245503460f94b12bba/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
69
Sample weight
• Sample data MUST be weighted to produce national estimates
• Estimation process–Adjusts for survey and item nonresponse
–Makes several ratio adjustments within and across physician specialties and hospitals
![Page 70: 1 Linda McCaig and David Woodwell 2006 Data Users Conference July 11, 2006 Analyzing Data from the NAMCS and NHAMCS.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56649e245503460f94b12bba/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
70
Sampling error
• NAMCS and NHAMCS are not simple random samples
• Clustering effects: –Providers within PSUs–Visits within physician practice or hospital
• Must use generalized variance curve or special software (e.g., SUDAAN) to calculate SEs for all estimates, percents, and rates
![Page 71: 1 Linda McCaig and David Woodwell 2006 Data Users Conference July 11, 2006 Analyzing Data from the NAMCS and NHAMCS.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56649e245503460f94b12bba/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
71
Reliability criteria
• Estimate based on at least 30 raw cases are reliable
• Estimate has a relative standard error (RSE) less than 30 percent are reliable
• Both conditions must be met
![Page 72: 1 Linda McCaig and David Woodwell 2006 Data Users Conference July 11, 2006 Analyzing Data from the NAMCS and NHAMCS.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56649e245503460f94b12bba/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
72
Ways to improve reliability of estimates
• Combine NAMCS, ED and OPD data to produce ambulatory care visit estimates
• Combine multiple years of data
![Page 73: 1 Linda McCaig and David Woodwell 2006 Data Users Conference July 11, 2006 Analyzing Data from the NAMCS and NHAMCS.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56649e245503460f94b12bba/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
73
Nonsampling error
• Frame coverage
• Reporting and processing errors
• Biases due to survey and item nonresponse
• Incomplete responses
![Page 74: 1 Linda McCaig and David Woodwell 2006 Data Users Conference July 11, 2006 Analyzing Data from the NAMCS and NHAMCS.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56649e245503460f94b12bba/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
74
Minimizing nonsampling error
• Improve sample frame for better coverage
• Encourage uniform reporting and eliminate ambiguities
• Pretest survey items and procedures• Perform quality control procedures –
consistency and edit checks• Train Census field representatives
![Page 75: 1 Linda McCaig and David Woodwell 2006 Data Users Conference July 11, 2006 Analyzing Data from the NAMCS and NHAMCS.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56649e245503460f94b12bba/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)

Attempts to improveresponse rate
• Publicity
• Eliminating questions that have a high item non-response
• Methodological studies

78
Methodological studies
• Complement study (1997-1999)–Missing 11% of visits to physicians classified
as not office-based
• Nonresponse follow-up survey (1998)–Another in 2006
![Page 79: 1 Linda McCaig and David Woodwell 2006 Data Users Conference July 11, 2006 Analyzing Data from the NAMCS and NHAMCS.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56649e245503460f94b12bba/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)

82
Impact of HIPAA on NAMCS and NHAMCS
• Induction process in hospitals is longer due to additional levels of approval process
• Less likely to allow FR abstraction
• Response rate not directly affected
• Easy reason to refuse
