Attachment C3: 2015 NAMCS-1 List of all proposed questions for Traditional Office-based Physicians and CHC Providers



This table lists all proposed 2015 survey questions in the order that they would appear in the survey. In the computerized instrument, questions are not numbered, so question numbers are provided in the left column of this table, which corresponds to question numbers in the 2014 NAMCS-1 sample card found in Attachment C1. Question numbers 4a through 16b match exactly in 2014 and 2015. Starting at question 17, new questions were added for 2015 and will not match the 2014 sample card. Skip patterns in 2015 are included only if they diverge from 2014, otherwise, refer to Attachment C1 for skip patterns. Additions and modifications for 2015 are indicated in highlighted red font. Instructions for field representatives are in blue.

Section 2: Induction Interview


INDUCT_INTRO


Before we begin, I'd like to give you some background about this study.

Medical researchers and educators are especially interested in topics like medical education, health workforce needs, and the changing nature of health care delivery.  The National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (or NAMCS) was developed to meet the need for such information.  

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention works closely with members of the medical profession to design the NAMCS each year.  The NAMCS supplies essential information about how ambulatory medical care is provided in the United States, and how it is utilized by patients.  

Your part in the study is very important and should not take much of your time.  It consists of your participation during a specified 7-day period.  During that time, you would supply a minimal amount of information about the patients you see.

First, I have some questions to ask about your practice.  Your answers will only be used to provide data on the characteristics of office-based practices in the U.S.  Any and all information you provide for this study will be kept confidential.
