Listen "53. Seeing the Vision of Digital Data Exchange Come True with Anthony Murray and MRO Corporation"

Episode Synopsis

In today’s episode, host Sandy Vance gets the privilege of chatting with MRO’s brilliant Chief Interoperability Officer Anthony Murray. Anthony knows all about the significance of speeding up clinical data exchange. He talks about the necessity, importance, and various strategies needed to achieve MRO’s goal of helping providers and payer networks share information in a quick, effective way. 
Sandy and Anthony also talk about how the business of health information exchange is changing across the industry. Sometimes it feels like this evolution is happening quickly, but too often it feels as though it’s moving at a snail’s pace in the hurried and chaotic world of healthcare. Even though this road toward internal and external interoperability might be a bumpy one, things are looking bright. Sandy and Anthony’s excitement and passion are palpable as they talk about the strides that MRO is making and the future of data exchange.
In February, Sandy got to chat with MRO Corporation’s Chief Product Officer Mo Weitnauer in an episode titled, “MRO’s Dedication to Interoperability Meets CareFirst for Healthcare Interoperability.” It is a wonderfully insightful episode and we suggest you check it out (wink wink, nudge nudge).  
In this episode, they talk about:

How MRO uses its clinical data exchange platform to create a productive information exchange ecosystem

The demand on healthcare providers and fighting against legacy systems that stall information

How the standards help organizations share digital information meaningfully, and what those standards need to be constructive

Using AI thoughtfully to avoid sensitivity concerns and to achieve better quality measures, reporting, and assurance

The status of TEFCA and how it affects the work that MRO is doing
