Abstract

Using data from a 1975 hospital wage survey conducted by the Industry Wage Division of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the relationship between accreditation status and hourly wages of 590 female full-time medical record technicians (MRTs) in four metropolitan areas was examined. Through multiple regression analysis, the hourly wages of Accredited Record Technicians were found to be $0.62 greater than those not accredited. Job location and hospital funding source also were related strongly to MRT hourly wages. Only 35 percent of the MRT's studied were accredited. These data reveal the willingness of employers to hire MRT's not accredited, while being willing to pay a premium for accreditation.

摘要

利用美国劳工统计局行业工资司1975年进行的一项医院工资调查数据，研究了四个大都市地区590名女性全职病历技术员（MRT）的认证状态与小时工资之间的关系。通过多元回归分析发现，获得认证的记录技术员的小时工资比未获得认证的技术员高0.62美元。工作地点和医院资金来源也与MRT的小时工资密切相关。在所研究的MRT中，只有35%获得了认证。这些数据表明雇主愿意雇佣未获得认证的MRT，同时又愿意为认证支付额外费用。
