OSCAR McMaster is a web-based electronic medical record (EMR) system initially developed for academic primary care clinics. It has grown into a comprehensive EMR and billing system used by many doctor's offices and private medical clinics in Canada and other parts of the world. The name is derived from where it was created and an acronym; OSCAR stands for Open Source Clinical Application and Resource and McMaster refers to McMaster University, where it was developed. It enables the delivery of evidence resources at the point of care.

On December 1, 2005, the project announced that OSCAR had been certified by OntarioMD under the Physician IT Program. Notably, OSCAR is the only open source Clinical Management System (CMS) product (out of a list of 19 certified products from 15 vendors) to meet/exceed the requirements that ensure the product supports defined standards for clinical and practice management software. Version 9.06 is the only one qualified for the OntarioMD EMR funding.

Features of OSCAR
