Abstract
Several years have passed since the Foothills Hospital in Calgary installed a multi-million-dollar computerized patient-information system. When it arrived, the computer system known as OSCAR created controversy, anxiety and arguments among clinical caregivers who found it tedious, time consuming and cumbersome. Gregory Powell looks at how OSCAR has since changed the clinical landscape at Foothills.
