About Relay

Relay was designed to address one of the most persistent and costly challenges in healthcare: the lack of standardization in medical data exchange. Healthcare organizations often struggle with integrating data from a wide variety of sources, each with its own file formats, data types, and unique requirements. These inconsistencies create bottlenecks, inflate costs, and delay critical insights, ultimately affecting patient care and operational efficiency. Relay serves as a unified translation layer, bridging these gaps and enabling seamless data flow across systems.

At its core, Relay leverages a canonical model that acts as a universal reference point for data integration. This model, combined with straightforward SQL mapping, allows organizations to bypass the complexities of traditional data transformation processes. Instead of managing an overwhelming web of one off integrations, Relay provides a streamlined and repeatable approach to mapping data between systems. By simplifying these processes, Relay not only accelerates integration timelines but also reduces the likelihood of errors and misinterpretations, ensuring data accuracy and reliability.

What truly sets Relay apart is its architecture, which revolves around business objects, source and destination endpoints, and connectors. These elements work in harmony to create a modular and highly adaptable system. By using pre-built connectors and endpoints, organizations can integrate new data sources or destinations in a matter of days—tasks that historically took months of custom development and manual effort. This flexibility means that Relay can scale alongside the organization, adapting to new technologies, partners, and regulatory requirements without starting from scratch.

The impact of Relay's efficiency is profound. By cutting integration timelines from months to days, Relay enables healthcare organizations to respond rapidly to changing demands. For example, during a merger or when adopting a new electronic health record (EHR) system, data migration and integration are critical. Relay ensures these processes are handled with speed and precision, minimizing downtime and disruption.

In addition to time savings, Relay drives significant cost reductions. Traditional data integration efforts are resource-intensive, requiring extensive manual effort, custom coding, and ongoing maintenance. Relay slashes these costs by nearly 85%, freeing up budget for other strategic initiatives. Moreover, its intuitive interface and SQL driven mappings reduce the reliance on specialized developers, empowering teams to manage integrations internally with minimal training.

Beyond integration, Relay delivers enhanced insights into data performance. Its ability to provide visibility into how data moves and transforms across systems allows organizations to identify inefficiencies, monitor data quality, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards. These insights help healthcare organizations make data-driven decisions faster, whether it's optimizing care delivery, improving operational workflows, or meeting reporting requirements.

In an industry where data is growing exponentially and interoperability remains a significant hurdle, Relay is more than a tool it's a transformative solution. By addressing the foundational challenges of healthcare data exchange with speed, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness, Relay empowers organizations to focus on what truly matters: delivering better care and improving outcomes.
