Abstract

Health worker is every person who devotes himself
in the field of health and has knowledge and skills through
education in the health field. One of the health workers is
a medical record officer. A health medical recorder must
have good competence. At the RSUD Kota Tangerang
there are medical record officers consisting of 7 graduates
of medical records and 19 graduates of non-medical
records. It shows that there is a gap between the level of
education in medical records and non-medical records.
This is very influential with the competence of officers who
will have an impact on service in RSUD Kota Tangerang.
Lack of knowledge of medical records personnel about
the importance of medical records can be detrimental to
hospitals, if at any time lawsuits occur, the officer must
have good knowledge of medical records. This research
aims to determine the differences in knowledge between
medical records officers from medical record graduate
and non-medical records graduates. This research was
conducted using a quantitative approach with T- Test
Independent. From the results of the research found
that the knowledge of officers with a background in
medical records has an average value of knowledge of
71.4 and non-medical records has an average value of
44.9. Hypothesis test results using an independent t test
found that there are differences in competence between
medical record graduates and medical record graduates
(p value <0.05). It can be concluded that the educational
background influences the knowledge of officers. It is
expected that the medical records officer is a medical
record graduate who can have an impact on improving
performance in the hospital.
