Comments

The median of a multiset is either the middle part (for odd length), or the average of the two middle parts (for even length).

Example

The a(1) = 1 through a(4) = 10 set partitions:
  {{1}}  {{1}{2}}  {{123}}      {{1}{234}}
                   {{13}{2}}    {{12}{34}}
                   {{1}{2}{3}}  {{123}{4}}
                                {{124}{3}}
                                {{13}{24}}
                                {{134}{2}}
                                {{14}{23}}
                                {{1}{24}{3}}
                                {{13}{2}{4}}
                                {{1}{2}{3}{4}}
The set partition {{1,4},{2,3}} has medians {5/2,5/2}, with sum 5, so is counted under a(4).

Mathematica

sps[{}]:={{}}; sps[set:{i_, ___}] := Join@@Function[s, Prepend[#, s]& /@ sps[Complement[set, s]]] /@ Cases[Subsets[set], {i, ___}];
Table[Length[Select[sps[Range[n]], IntegerQ[Total[Median/@#]]&]], {n, 10}]
