This was a retrospective, cross-sectional study to determine whether a relationship exists between work relative value unit(wRVU) awareness and wRVU accumulation among faculty physicians. Physician wRVU awareness was obtained by a distributed survey to faculty physicians in early 2016. wRVU accumulation was pulled from a faculty productivity database. Productivity data from FY14-FY15 was used to determine wRVU accumulation relative to each respondent's specialty-specific benchmark. Data were analyzed to investigate the nature, of the relationship between awareness and accumulation. The analysis showed that physicians with above-average awareness were significantly more likely to surpass their wRVU benchmark when compared to physicians with below-average awareness. Additionally, wRVU awareness accounted for a significant percentage of the variation in wRVU output. Considering the financial importance of wRVU generation for healthcare organizations, there is a need to devote more time and resources to developing physician awareness of wRVUs.
这是一项回顾性横断面研究，旨在确定教员医师的工作相对价值单位（wRVU）意识与wRVU积累之间是否存在关联。通过在2016年初向教员医师进行分布式调查来获取医师的wRVU意识。wRVU积累数据来自教员生产力数据库。使用2014财年至2015财年的生产力数据来确定相对于每个受访者特定专业基准的wRVU积累情况。对数据进行分析以研究意识与积累之间关系的性质。分析表明，与意识低于平均水平的医师相比，意识高于平均水平的医师更有可能超过其wRVU基准。此外，wRVU意识在wRVU产出的变化中占很大比例。考虑到wRVU产生对医疗保健组织的财务重要性，有必要投入更多时间和资源来提高医师对wRVU的认识。
