Assurance of confidentiality – We take your privacy very seriously. All information that relates to or describes identifiable characteristics of individuals, a practice, or an establishment will be used only for statistical purposes. NCHS staff, contractors, and agents will not disclose or release responses in identifiable form without the consent of the individual or establishment in accordance with section 308(d) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 242m(d)) and the Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act of 2002 (CIPSEA, Title 5 of Public Law 107-347).

We estimate that approximately 820 ambulatory units (or emergency service areas) participating in NHAMCS will allow Census abstractors to complete the Patient Record forms. The average burden for these respondents is one minute for each form, which includes simply pulling and re-filing the medical records. On average, 100 patient visits are obtained from each ambulatory department with a total burden of 228 hours annualized over the three years.
