About
Over the coming months, our CIUSSS must implement a new province-wide laboratory information management system (SIL P) at our facilities.
In the first step, the provincial laboratory information system (SIL- P) was rolled out in 2024 to the Lakeshore General Hospital and the entire ODI territory of our CIUSSS.
Objectives:
This is part of the OPTILAB process that aims to :
- Improve the efficiency of laboratory medicine in Québec
- Allow the entire trajectory of a sample to be tracked, process tests more quickly, and improve the transmission of results
- Simplify inter-institutional analyses and sharing of laboratory test results with healthcare professionals and users.
Roll-out
Following last year’s rollout of the SIL-P project (provincial laboratory information system) at the Lakeshore General Hospital, the next phase, set for the fall of 2025, will take place at the following sites and related facilities within our CIUSSS:
- St. Mary’s Hospital Centre
- Douglas Mental Health University Institute
- Hôpital de LaSalle
- Grace Dart Extended Care Centre
