National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS)

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for participating in the Lipoprotein Cholesterol and Glucose Laboratory Values Pilot Test.

These values are essential to the understanding of risk factor identification and control before cardiovascular disease.

1  Yes

2  No  (Please explain):_____________________________________________

1  Yes

2  No  (Please explain):____________________________________________

3. In the “Value” column, did it help to have “mg/dl” and “% of Hb” or did this confuse the issue?

2  No  (Please explain):____________________________________________

4. Were you able to determine fairly easily the date tests were reported in the medical record?

1  Yes

2  No  (Please explain):_____________________________________________

6. How long did it take you to answer these series of questions for one patient visit? ______________.
