Outpatient U.S. Medical Care Exceeds 1 Billion VisitsNew reports from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention examine ambulatory health care in America. They report on the more than 1 billion visits a year Americans make to doctors' offices, emergency rooms and hospital outpatient departments. The latest in an annual series, these reports provide a comprehensive analysis of visits to ambulatory health care settings in 2004.
Visits for mental disorders increased during the fall. Emergency injury visits were more likely to occur in the spring than other seasons. Newly released data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are presented in a Health E-Stat (web-based summary) and three reports: "National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey: 2004 Summary," (PDF) "National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey: 2004 Emergency Department Summary," (PDF) and "National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey: 2004 Outpatient Departments Summary," (PDF) available at www.cdc.gov/nchs.
