Physicians who computerize save on liability premiums

Article Abstract:

Some liability insurers are offering premium discounts to doctors who use selected electronic medical record systems. The medical Professional Liability Agency offers a 5% credit to physicians who computerize patient records, and Michigan Physicians Mutual Liability Co plans a Feb 1, 1995, discount of 2%. Systems that generate patient educational materials can earn an additional 2% discount. Liability insurers are offering the discounts because they believe it may help in reducing patient record errors, which often are key factors in malpractice suits.
