This is from one of our development partners in Toronto. Their dedicated team of programmers have developed a "Case Management and Order Entry" pluggable module to OSCAR. Have a look at their demonstration site and give them some feedback. There are currently known OSCAR installations for the homeless shelters in Toronto, Hamilton, and Alberta.
------------------ Hello CAISI users! on behalf of the CAISI/OSCAR users and the CAISI development team, I would like to thank Mike Donnelly for his free software programming contributions to the development of CAISI OSCAR Open Source Software. Please join me in thanking Mike! Mike has added soundex capabilities to our client search functions. Minor misspellings of names or variations in name spellings will now (Program Management Module version 2.0). This is the beginning of a very important feature in CAISI that prevents the duplication and fragmentation of care among the homeless. Duplicate records in client managment systems lead to loss of work, waste of resources, errors in care, loss of continuity in client care and many other problems. This is particularly important with some of the more vulnerable clients we work with who have difficulties keeping ID or who for various reasons have trouble providing accurate ID information when they are registered with various agencies. Look for this feature in the next release (scheduled for March 18) of CAISI OSCAR software. You can view and test this feature now at: http://caisi.mdumontier.com:443/OscarWAR user name: oscardoc password: caisi.ca 2nd level password: 1117 (if asked to enter cookie username/password - enter "pugsley" twice) Mike has expertise in HL7 - the current standard for the communication of health information between IT systems. We hope that we may benefit from his expertise in this area!
