FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The questions we hear most often from laboratories evaluating Silabmed.

How long does a typical implementation take?

For a mid-sized laboratory in Quebec with DSQ integration, allow 3 to 6 months between signature and go-live. The exact schedule depends on the complexity of your existing environment, the volume of data to migrate, and your internal availability for testing phases.

Are my analyzers compatible with Silabmed?

Silabmed interfaces with any analyzer that complies with laboratory instrument communication standards, whatever its brand. You are not limited to a list of devices: a new compliant analyzer can be connected. List your devices in the contact form so our team can review them. Submit my device list

Does Silabmed integrate with our hospital system?

Yes, if your hospital system or EHR follows the sector’s interoperability standards. Silabmed then receives test requests with no re-entry and sends validated results and invoices back to the patient record. With AyidaHMS™, integration is native. Name your system in the contact form: the list of systems already integrated is presented during the demonstration. Explore HIS & EHR integration

What is the native integration with AyidaHMS?

AyidaHMS is the hospital management system from Tainosystems Canada Inc. Silabmed integrates with it natively: test requests entered in AyidaHMS arrive directly in Silabmed, and validated results and invoices go back automatically to the AyidaHMS patient record. The clinician follows the whole pathway, from order to result and invoice, in the patient record.

Do results and invoices go back to the patient record?

Yes. When Silabmed is integrated with your HIS or EHR, validated results and the matching invoices are sent back automatically to the patient record. Clinicians see them where they already work, without searching in other software. This applies to AyidaHMS, through native integration, and to any standards-compliant HIS or EHR.

What is your pricing model?

Several options: monthly SaaS per user or per site, perpetual on-premise license, hybrid model. The price depends on the number of users, test volume, and activated modules. We provide a personalized quote after a brief scoping discussion.

Do you offer a trial period?

Rather than a free trial, we offer a personalized demonstration (~45 minutes) followed, if relevant, by an in-depth technical session with your IT and quality team. For serious clients, we can organize a pilot deployment.

How does Silabmed compare to other TGV-certified LIS?

Of three TGV-certified LIS in Quebec, Silabmed is the only one stemming from continuous Quebec development since 1998. The other options are Quebec adaptations of products originally designed elsewhere. Our team is based in Montreal, operates in French, and directly knows the Quebec network.

Which modules can be added to the Silabmed LIS?

Six modules extend the core LIS: Lab Interface (instrument connectivity), the patient results portal, Silabmed Booking (online appointments), reagent inventory and procurement, multi-site laboratory management and the B2B2C model, which lets a laboratory serve both professional partners and patients. Integration with the HIS or EHR, native with AyidaHMS and possible with any standards-compliant HIS or EHR, comes on top.

Does Silabmed send results to the DSQ (Dossier santé Québec)?

Yes. Silabmed meets the requirements of the DSQ (Dossier santé Québec, the Quebec health record) and sends test results to the DSQ every day, automatically, with no manual work by the laboratory. For a laboratory in Quebec, results are therefore available in the patient’s record with no extra work. Together with the MSSS TGV certification obtained in November 2025, this demonstrates Silabmed’s ability to integrate with national health systems.

Does Silabmed manage reagent suppliers and orders?

Yes. The Silabmed Reagent Inventory & Procurement module covers the full chain: supplier records with history, negotiated purchase prices and how they change, actual delivery times, purchase orders, order tracking, receiving with checks on quantities and lots, then automatic stock updates. The laboratory compares suppliers on real data and keeps full traceability from supplier to test.
