Jel,
Please tell us more about OSCAR.

Hi Greg
Sorry to be slow to get to this. Reading some fo the Ultimate EMR thread
jogged my memory.
I am fairly new around here so it may be that folks know a lot about OSCAR.
OSCAR is an open-source EMR out of McMaster University under the helm of Dr
David Chan.
It is one of the approved EMRs in Ontario and is in the approval process in
BC right now. For 'approval' read 'funding'. There are quite a few BC
users and we don't care too much about govt funding because we have _our_
EMR which is free....and hardware almost gets given away these days....and
OSCAR only needs low-end machines.
OSCAR runs 2 different billing systems (Ontario and BC), lab import,
prescribing (drugref), charting, chronic disease management flowsheets,
document storage etc etc, and a personally controlled health record,
MyOSCAR has just been added.

Enough from me - I am sounding like one of those be-suited guys with shiny
shoes and slick laptops who will show you everything on their machine, but
not let you touch it yourself ;-)
Regards all
