EHR Users see reduced liability insurance premiums

According to an article by Medical Economics, Michigan physicians who use EHR may qualify for reduced premiums:

MHA Insurance in Lansing, MI, will discount premiums by 5 percent the first year and 2.5 percent afterwards for practices that have an EHR certified by the Certification Commission for Healthcare Information Technology. Two more strings are attached—the system needs to have been up and running for at least one year, and at least 75 percent of the doctors in a practice must use it.
