Today Sandy talks with Mo Weitnauer, the chief product officer for MRO Corporation. MRO’s partnership with CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield unlocks the potential of payer-provider data exchange for organizations to improve financial performance and healthcare delivery. Cutting-edge automation techniques and standardized APIs are being used to enhance accuracy and optimize performance for both payers and providers.
MRO uses their proprietary CDXP to serve as a conduit for structured and unstructured data, so providers and payer networks can share information in a meaningful, automated, and authorized way. The CDXP injects value across multiple workstreams to support interoperability and clinical data sharing. They are focused on what they can do to help efficiently get clinical information where it needs to be in a healthcare system that is focused mostly on outcomes.

MRO’s history, mission, and products
Clinical data exchange platform, which powers all of MRO’s products
“Pure fraud, waste, and abuse,” and clinical and administrative complexity
Taking out admin waste
CareFirst case study
Quality measure improvements since 2021
