Canadian Industry Statistics (CIS)
Under this topic you will find the North American Industry Classification System definition of the Ambulatory Health Care Services (NAICS 621) subsector. You can use this definition to properly identify the segment of the industry you wish to study further in other sections of Canadian Industry Statistics.
This subsector comprises establishments primarily engaged in providing health care services, directly or indirectly, to ambulatory patients. Health practitioners in this subsector provide out-patient services, in which the facilities and equipment are not usually the most significant part of the production process.
No exclusions are specified in the 2007 NAICS Canada manual.
