For OSCAR admins

Have your REST client ready.

Your OSCAR admin or hosting provider can help prepare the connection. You will need these before connecting in Transcribe Health.

Talk through your setup
  • Your OSCAR server address

    An HTTPS address with OSCAR’s REST API available.

  • An OSCAR REST / OAuth client

    The consumer key and consumer secret from your OSCAR REST client registration.

  • An OSCAR account to approve access

    Sign in to OSCAR in the same browser. The OAuth 1.0a connection opens OSCAR’s own consent screen.

Before you connect

A few practical answers.

Will it work with our OSCAR instance?

Your instance needs OSCAR’s REST API and an OAuth 1.0a client. Ask your OSCAR admin or hosting provider to confirm access. Contact us to check your setup before connecting.

Which chart information can we see?

Allergies, including severity and reaction where recorded, and current medications with dose information. Load them from the EHR section on the linked patient’s page. The OSCAR problem list is not available through this connection.

Does sending a note sign it in OSCAR?

No. Notes are saved in the linked patient’s OSCAR chart as unsigned plain text. The clinician reviews and signs the note in OSCAR.

How does patient information move?

Transcribe Health reads allergies and medications from the OSCAR instance your clinic connects. It sends the notes you choose to the linked patient chart. See our privacy and security pages for data handling details.

Keep OSCAR. Put your notes in it.
