Session Description
OSCAR is an 'open-source' (free), Canadian web-based EMR, developed and driven by its users. Users pay no licensing costs and have the freedom to choose who provides support. There are large number of users in Ontario and British Columbia. It has won several prestigious awards for IT innovation.
Users will learn from other users and the development team about new features and how to use OSCAR to their best advantage. Participants will work by consensus to make decisions about future development. Non-OSCAR users are welcome to attend to see the EMR and see how the OSCAR community works together.
