What is Amplify Care?

Amplify Care is an Ontario not-for-profit, founded in 2014 as the eHealth Centre of Excellence, that supports clinicians and health teams in adopting digital health tools. In the eReferral space, Amplify Care acts as a delivery partner for Ontario's eReferral initiatives, supporting deployment, onboarding, and change management for the Ocean eReferral Network and related coordinated access programs.

Is Relency AI an alternative to Amplify Care?

They solve different problems and can coexist. Amplify Care is an adoption and change-management partner helping organizations get onto eReferral networks. Relency AI is a software platform that automates the receiving side of referrals: AI data extraction, triage against acceptance criteria, intelligent routing, and automated patient communication across Ocean, fax, and email channels. Organizations searching for 'Amplify Care alternatives' usually want intake automation software — which is what Relency AI provides.

What is the difference between Ocean eReferral and Relency AI?

Ocean is the eReferral network — it transmits referrals between senders and receivers with status tracking. Relency AI is intake automation for receiving organizations — it integrates with Ocean and also processes fax and email referrals, applying AI extraction, automated triage, routing, and patient outreach. Many organizations use both together.

When should an organization choose Relency AI?

Choose Relency AI when your bottleneck is intake operations: high referral volumes across mixed channels (Ocean, fax, email), manual data entry and re-keying, inconsistent triage, referral backlogs, or a central intake program that needs automated routing and wait-time analytics. The platform is designed to reduce referral leakage by up to 40% and cut time-to-triage from days to minutes.

Amplify Care, Ocean eReferral & Relency AI: How They Fit Together

The Three Pieces, Side by Side

Amplify Care — Adoption & Change Management Partner

Amplify Care is an Ontario not-for-profit founded in 2014 as the eHealth Centre of Excellence. It supports clinicians and health teams adopting digital health tools — including deployment, onboarding, and change management for eReferral and coordinated access initiatives under Ontario's eServices Program. If your organization needs help getting connected to the provincial eReferral ecosystem, Amplify Care is a key delivery partner in that journey.

Ocean eReferral Network — The Transmission Layer

The Ocean eReferral Network is Canada's largest eReferral network. It moves referrals electronically from sending EMRs to receiving clinics and programs, with a provider directory, status tracking, and patient notifications. It answers the question: how does the referral get there?

Relency AI — The Intake Automation Layer

Relency AI is software for the receiving side. It answers: what happens after the referral arrives? Referrals from Ocean, fax, and email flow into one pipeline where AI extracts the data, checks completeness against your acceptance criteria, applies your triage rules, routes each referral to the right program or queue, and keeps patients informed automatically — with wait-time analytics across the whole process. This is AI referral management purpose-built for Canadian central intake and specialist workflows.

When Relency AI Is the Right Choice

Your intake team re-keys referral data from Ocean, fax, and email into internal systems every day
Triage decisions vary by who is working intake that morning
You run (or are launching) a central intake or coordinated access program and need automated routing
Referral backlogs and 'where is my referral?' calls are consuming staff time
You need wait-time and volume analytics you can actually stand behind

And to be equally clear about the other side: if your primary need is help joining the provincial eReferral ecosystem and managing the change with your clinicians, engage with the Ontario eServices Program and its delivery partners like Amplify Care. The two paths are complementary — many organizations do both.
