ORDER A NEW or UPDATED eFORM
If you wish to have an eForm prepared, OSCAR BC can make one for you.
We generally respond to requests within a week with a quote to prepare your eForm.
Our Resources/Learning page has videos and other eForms-related information such as DTO’s Forms Guidelines & Best Practices Guide regarding creating, editing, and distributing forms. Here is a helpful resource to add and manage eForms.
Please review the following before making your order:
- Did you verify that it does not already exist in the Oscargalaxy.org repository?
- Please indicate if your request is an update to an existing eForm, or if it is a new eForm (search the repository to see if it already exists).
- It is important that your eForm follows any regulatory guidelines and formats – if you’re unsure, please check before sending to us. If they do not, the eForm may be sent back for appropriate adjustments.
- For HSAT eForms, you can review the College of Physicians and Surgeon / Provincial standards here. If they don’t meet these standards, the request will be rejected. It will also be verified with the College’s list of accredited facilities.
- We do not edit the content of your PDF form, and additional fees will apply to change a form after its been programmed and uploaded – so please ensure the data in your PDF is correct (such as fax / phone #, etc) before sending your request.
- Attached forms for programming must be in pdf format, in 8.5 x11″, portrait orientation. There should be a page margin of at least 0.5cm on each edge.
- Scans of faxed form pages are generally not accepted as the background image may be of too poor quality.
- If you have multiple, different eForms, please submit a separate request for each.
- There is no difference between a fillable / print version of a pdf for programming to an eForm; if the content is identical, please don’t send both in separate requests.
- We do not upload or store pdf’s in the eForm repository.
- All completed eforms are uploaded to the OSCAR Galaxy repository, and are shared openly – and for free.
- Search for BC-specific eForms HERE.

FAQ’s about Ordering eForms:
Are there fees for new eForms?
We charge nominal fees to program new eForms to cover adminstrative and repository maintenance costs. Fees are based on the complexity of the form (number and type of fields), how many pages and other factors that might require more extensive programming effort.
How do I get a Discount?
OSCAR BC Members receive a discount, as long as their membership is in good standing (paid up to date). Please go to www.oscarbc.ca/membership to apply for membership
Are the eForms secure?
Yes, all eForms go through testing to ensure they function properly, and have up-to-date security coding.
Can I order multiple eForms?
Yes, but you will need to submit a separate order for each eForm you request.
Can I order an update to an existing eForm?
Yes, we also do updates to existing eForms. The same process to request updates applies – just let us know its an update! The fees for this will be minimal, unless there are extensive changes to the existing eForm. In some cases, fees are waived if the changes are very minimal.
What is the turnaround time for eForm orders?
You will receive a reply within 2 business days, acknowledging your request with a quote for the cost to program the eForm.
You will need to confirm your approval of the quoted fee with us before we will proceed.
Once the eForm has been programmed and uploaded to the repository, you will receive an email with a direct link to the completed eForm in The Oscar Galaxy repository within approximately 1 – 2 weeks.
An invoice will be issued to you from OSCAR BC, payable by cheque, credit card or bank eTransfer.
How do I use the eForm I ordered?
Please see these instructions on uploading and installing eForms into your OSCAR EMR.
