4.6 Integrating Hospital Reports

There are several ways to port hospital reports into the Oscar system. An obvious way is to use the HRM if your hospital is involved in that service. There are local services that export HL7 data (eg in Hamilton and in the Interior Health Authority) where software can be used to incorporate the reports into the Inbox stream. If you don't have HL7 to work with, well don't let that stop you, you can make your own HL7 programatically with a generic approach.

4.7 Tweaks

Various tweaks and modifications to give Oscar racing stripes! NOTE ONTARIO USERS - NOT FOR YOU as of OSCAR 12 (Ontario MD CMS 4 certified version) any modifications to certified code risks invalidating the installation as being able to attract subsidy in Ontario. Thus adding the recent immunizations and removing decorations have been folded into the regular code for everyone. Only In name demographic search remains not implemented at this writing

4.8 Specialist

OSCAR can be configured for specialist practice.

4.10 OSCAR Kiosk

This project will create standalone Web Appliance for OSCAR. This example will illustrate how to build a kiosk for health card scanner for patient to check in automatically. This facility is designed for Ontario OHIP cards, BC MSP cards and McMaster Student ID, although it is easily extended to read any magnetic stripe card.
