Abstract:
|
This presentation will summarize upcoming changes to the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS) and the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NHAMCS) that will be useful for monitoring the effects of ACA. Changes in NAMCS include increased sample sizes allowing state-level estimates of preventive care given in physician offices and community health centers for 34 states. Changes in NHAMCS will allow us to be able to look at the effect of ACA on crowding the emergency department in 5 of the most populous states. The new National Hospital Care Survey (NHCS) will also be described, including the potential to link data from NHCS to Medicare and Medicaid and death records.
