Abstract: Objective To study the current situation and change trend of medical record practitioners in secondary and above general hospitals in Guangdong Province, and put forward suggestions for training and team construction of medical record practitioners.Methods The number, educational background and workload of medical record practitioners in Guangdong Province from 2018 to 2020 were obtained through the medical record management professional survey in the national medical quality data sampling survey, and the development trend of medical record practitioners was found by comparative analysis. Quartile and nonparametric tests were used to describe and analyze the data.Results In 2020, the average number of personnel in the medical record departments of sample institutions was 9.52, the number of personnel per 100 beds was 1.22, the number of staff per 10 000 discharged patients was 3.24, the number of medical record-related professional was 6.82, the number of undergraduate and above education personnel was 5.01, and the average annual number of medical records was 1.02 million copies/person-year, which remained stable compared to those in 2018.Conclusion With the continuous development of medical record professional team, the number of personnel has increased to a certain extent, but the workload of personnel is still heavy, and the imbalance of medical record team construction in different regions and different institutions is still prominent. We should continue to pay attention to the education of medical record professionals, including strengthening the undergraduate and postgraduate education of medical record informatics-related majors in higher education, especially continuously improving the construction of the post-graduation education system of medical record coders, so as to adapt to the new situation of the development of medical record disciplines and provide talent resources for medical record management.
