RESUMO
Objective To find out about the current situation of the development of medical record management in Jiangxi Province. Methods Questionnaires were distributed to 182 medical record management workers in 98 hospitals of Jiangxi Province. Results Medical record management has witnessed slow development and the management contingent is characterized by low educational level, low professional titles, a rather limited number of years of work experience and numerical dominance of women. Conclusion That leaders in some hospitals fail to pay enough attention to medical record management and medical record management organizations have not been properly set up constitutes the chief cause of the slow development of the medical record management specialty in Jiangxi Province.
