aPercentages presented in this table are based on the total number of visits for the variable of interest. For example, Total percent is the percent of total NAMCS/NHAMCS OPD visits where the patient was seen before in hospital clinic or office-based practice. All percentages were calculated using the weighted numbers. The NAMCS/NHAMCS question is "Has patient been seen in this clinic before?" or "Have you or anyone in your practice/department seen patient before?" 1) Yes, established patient; 2) No, new patient.
