1 Summary OSCAR, a leading open source Electronic Medical Record (EMR) originally created by McMaster University and now managed by the not for profit organization OSCAR EMR ( emr.org), was a core technology targeted for enhancement through the Connected Health and Wellness Project. The Project recognized the critical role that EMRs will play in enabling clinician engagement in the paradigm shift to truly person centred health. Further, it understood that meaningful connection between EMRs and consumer facing health technologies such as McMaster s MyOSCAR Personal Health Record (PHR) and NexJ Connected Wellness will be a key success factor in realizing our shared vision for personcentred health. To that end, investment supported the enhancement of OSCAR as an Enterprise Ready solution, positioning it as an EMR of choice for ambulatory hospital settings and larger institutions such as Public Health Departments. Enhancements included: Improving the look, feel and intuitive ease of use of OSCAR; Offering greater ability to customize OSCAR to respond to the unique preferences and workflow of users across different specialties, roles and contexts; and Increasing OSCAR s interoperability with other technologies, such as hospital information systems, provincial ehealth systems, clinical health tools and applications by achieving IHE verification for OSCAR.
