GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Your reporting dates are:

See card in pocket for instructions on how to complete
Patient Record.

REPORTING
DATES

through Sunday,

Record the name of every patient seen during the Reporting
Period on a Sign-In Sheet maintained in each area of the
ambulatory surgery center. Record each patient in the order
registered by your receptionist or seen by the provider. If two or
more patients are seen during a single provider visit, the patients
should be listed in the sequence registered or the sequence
seen. It is important to record every patient visit including those
not seen by the provider but attended to by the staff. Patients
who visit more than once during the reporting period should be
recorded on the Sign-In Sheet at each visit.

Monday,

PATIENT
SIGN-IN
SHEET

Follow the Sampling Pattern below to determine for which visit(s) a
Patient Record should be completed.

TAKE EVERY:

PATIENT
RECORD

START WITH:

The START WITH designates the FIRST PATIENT for whom a
patient record should be completed. The TAKE EVERY designates
every patient thereafter for whom a patient record should be
completed. For example, for a Start With of 2 and Take Every of 3,
a patient record will be completed for the second patient listed on
the ambulatory surgery center Sign-In Sheet and every third patient
listed thereafter (e.g., 2, 5, 8, etc.). It is essential that the Take
Every Number is extended each day from one Sign-In Sheet to
another. For example, If your ambulatory surgery center uses a
new Sign-In Sheet each day, then the Take Every Number has to
be extended from the last patient visit selected on Monday to the
new list on Tuesday. If a single Sign-In Sheet is used the entire
reporting period, then the Take Every simply needs to be extended
as new patient names are added to the list.

Please refer to the NHAMCS-126 Instruction Book for
more detailed information on the sampling pattern.

DEFINITIONS For purposes of this study:

1. An ambulatory patient is an individual presenting for personal
health services, not currently admitted to any health care
institution on the premises. Include patients the physician
sees; and patients the physician does not see but who receive
care from a physician assistant, nurse, nurse practitioner, etc.
Exclude persons who visit only for administrative reasons,
such as to complete an insurance form; patients who do not
seek care or services (e.g., pick up a prescription or leave a
specimen); persons currently admitted as inpatients to the
hospital (nursing home patients should be included,
however); and telephone contacts with patients.

2. A visit is a direct, personal exchange between an ambulatory
patient and a physician or hospital staff under a physician’s
supervision for the purpose of seeking care and rendering
personal health services.

In case of questions or difficulty, please call the Field
Representative collect:

DISPOSITION As each Patient Record is completed, place the combined form
(Patient Log and Patient Record) in the pocket of the kit. At the end
OF
of each day scan all forms to be sure they are properly completed,
MATERIALS
verify that the total number of completed Patient Records equals
the number appearing on the last completed Patient Record.
Check pages of the Patient Log against other record(s) (e.g.,
appointment book, billing records) to assure that every patient visit
was recorded on the Patient Log. At the end of the period, detach
patient’s name, place all Patient Records and all unused materials
in the postage paid envelope provided and mail to the interviewer.
(DO NOT RETURN THE DETACHED PAGES OF THE PATIENT
RECORD THAT CONTAIN THE PATIENT’S NAME).
