OSCAR consists of a suite of five applications which together help to improve and enhance an organization’s ability to provide the highest level of care possible. Through the integration of these applications into their technological infrastructure, users are able to achieve quality improvements and realize cost efficiencies within health case and social service settings.

1. OSCAR EMR, an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system containing health care information with full billing capabilities, chronic disease management tools, prescription module, scheduling and many other features. Can run locally in an office setting or be accessed over the internet.
2. MyDrugRef, a powerful tool that enables physicians to form a network to facilitate knowledge transfer. This knowledge transfer allows providers to be kept up to date on the latest studies and best practices as they relate to drug management as well as clinical procedures.
3. OSCAR CAISI, an award winning case management, bed management and program facility management system used by several agencies in Toronto, Hamilton and Ottawa. The system is specifically designed to share relevant patient information among providers, while maintaining the highest levels of patient privacy.
4. MyOSCAR, a Personal Health Record (PHR) that offers patients access to and control of their health records, enabling them to become more actively involved in the management of their health. Patients are able to share their record with whomever they choose, enabling health care providers, family members or other selected individuals to have access to their information for viewing or updating.
5. OSCAR Resource, a project aimed at compiling a large accessible database of bookmarks linking to a large variety of medical resources all over the web.
