OSCAR stands for Open Source Clinical Application Resource. It is a suite of Web-based Applications which serve to enhance the health and social service community's ability to provide the highest level of care. OSCAR is one of a few Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems world wide that has multilingual support. You can run the program in English while your secretary has it simultaneously in French, and your colleague sees it in Spanish.

OSCAR Canada Users Society provides a wealth of information for OSCAR users and non-users alike.

All OSCAR applications are built in free Open Source software, which means you are free to download the program, use the program, or modify it.
