On the road…
OSCAR Ophthalmology Road (the history of the development for the
OSCAR eye package)
1
Beginning – Ophthalmology
plugin framework
In 2009, led by a group of Toronto
ophthalmologists, and implemented by
OscarService, the very first version of the OSCAR
ophthalmology package was created. It had a
plugin design for plug and play for OSCAR V9. Key
components included in the package including:
Brand new encounter design for
ophthalmology (named eyeform)
this module replaced the encounter for family
practice which focus on diagnosis, history, eye
examination & impression plan.
Document management system (named
Inbox Manager)
2
Inbox Manager handles the incoming documents
filing system for referrals and other patient medical
documents.
Consultation report module
Creates a professional looking consultation report
to easily generate the report for the family doctors.
Big jump – Ophthalmology
rewrite for OSCAR v12
In 2012, the same group of Toronto
ophthalmologists and McMaster University rewrote
the OSCAR eye package, removed the plugin
framework from the old version but kept the same
functionality for the ophthalmologists based on
OSCAR V12 core code. In the same year OSCAR
V12 passed the ISO 13485 certification and Ontario
MD CMS 4.1 conformance test.

OscarService did major bug fixes (more than 75
cases) and improvements for the release of the
V12.1 eye package. We also did major upgrade
and data migration for all the ophthalmologist
clients who used the old plugin framework. At the
same time, OscarService programmed and
released these two features to support the new
eye package:
Multi-site features
This module gives doctors who run multiple clinics
better control of filtering patient’s appointment
and billing information from site to site.
Live24 Real Time Backup & Switch
With Live24 upgraded and enabled, OSCAR data
are now real time mirrored, and server can switch
automatically when one production server fails, so
no down time anymore.
Step up – New things on the
road
Now, OscarService has moved forward with
ophthalmology, using the the great ideas from the
ophthalmology users, we started these projects in
the second quarter of 2013.
Eyeform V3 new design
In the OSCAR V12.1 ophthalmology package, the
encounter(or eyeform) only covers 85% of the
fields which the ophthalmologist use, and there are
some features that look backward compared with
the old eye plugin package. Invested by the eye
2
doctors group, the V3 design will cover almost
100% of the field that regular ophthalmologists use
and some other enhancements to make charting
smoother and faster.
Signature pad
OscarService programed a special signature pad
so that it can support the electronic signature in
the consultation, prescription, and eforms module.
I.E: the patient can sign electronically on the
consent form displayed on the monitor.
Zeiss Forum Integration
This is the big step OscarService decided to make
for the eye doctors; The integration benefit from
the new release from Zeiss Forum V3 or V3.1+,
which supports the standard HL7 information
exchange. As of Aug, 2013, OscarService is the
FIRST and ONLY ONE EMR Company in Canada
that utilizes EMR with Zeiss. The idea is to eliminate
the time a technician spends on duplicated data
entry on Zeiss devices. It will also be easy for the
doctors to see the diagnose images directly from
the OSCAR patient’s encounter (or eyeform).

OSCAR-Zeiss-Portal
(Release Oct, 2013) “OSCAR-Zeiss-Portal” is the name OscarService used to program and integrate with Zeiss Forum
V3 or V3.1+, it perform those key value added service for OSCAR & Zeiss Forum:
Worklist pushed directly from OSCAR appointment to Zeiss instrument like OCT, VF
Assuming input of one patient’s information into the Forum take 30 seconds, and youdiagnose
100 patients a day, every year “OSCAR-Zeiss-Portal” can save 304 hours of technician’s time (or
38 working days!) every day there will be a 10% efficiency increase.
Image link pushed back to OSCAR (open with Forum viewer)
the doctor no longer need to open EMR and then open Forum viewer again and search for
patient images, in OSCAR there will be a direct link to open Forum viewer and see images.
Eyeform V3
(Release Nov, 2013)
V3 projects started from
June 2013, implemented by
OscarService. All codes
under OSCAR GPL v2
license and will be
committed back to the
main OSCAR trunk once
code tested is reliable.
Signature Pad
(Release Oct 2013) Pad release together with
the OSCAR eform
generator, allow users to
create their own eforms and
draw the signature signing
area wherever on the form.
Also supporting consultation
signature and prescription
