What it is

OSCaR is an open-source case-management and record-keeping system for social-work-related programs. It brings assessments, risk levels, task lists, care plans, case notes, cross-referrals and alerts into one toolset, with Google Calendar integration. Organizations can create forms for structured or qualitative data, attach them to client or other records, and group tools into program streams. A report builder searches across programs, forms and assessments with AND/OR filters and exports results for analysis. Its mobile application supports field work with offline functionality, while web access and APIs support broader use and third-party integration. The feature overview lists HTTPS security, IP restrictions, four permission sets and change logs recording dates and users. Children in Families developed OSCaR with Save the Children International and USAID support. Pricing starts at $0.50 a month per active or accepted client, with hosting and support included.
