What is Lysis LIS?

Lysis is a modern, cloud-ready Laboratory Information System that manages the complete laboratory workflow: test ordering, specimen tracking, result entry, quality control, billing, and reporting. Built on open standards, Lysis integrates seamlessly with hospital information systems (HIS), electronic medical records (EMR), and laboratory instruments.

WeHealth's Lysis platform is designed for Canadian laboratories, with built-in support for provincial billing codes, Canadian regulatory requirements, and bilingual English/French interfaces. The system supports laboratories of all sizes, from small clinics to large reference labs.

  • Complete test catalog management with Canadian nomenclature
  • Bidirectional instrument interfaces (HL7, ASTM, proprietary)
  • FHIR R4/R5 API for modern EHR integration
  • Web-based result entry and validation
  • Automated billing to provincial health plans

Lysis FHIR Connect

Native FHIR integration for seamless interoperability with Canadian healthcare systems

What is Lysis FHIR Connect?

Lysis FHIR Connect is the interoperability layer that enables laboratory data to flow seamlessly between the LIS and external healthcare systems using FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) standards. It transforms traditional laboratory data into standardized FHIR resources that can be consumed by EHRs, HIS, patient portals, and mobile applications.

With support for FHIR R4, R4B, and R5, Lysis FHIR Connect aligns with Canada Health Infoway's interoperability roadmap, enabling laboratories to participate in the pan-Canadian health data exchange ecosystem.
