M. Scott Marshall discusses Work Package 6 of the EURECA project, its achievement aims and whether or not it has met these goals now that the project is at an end. He also discusses how these developments will help European clinicians.

The goal of EURECA (Enabling information re-Use by linking clinical REsearch and Care) is to enable seamless, secure, scalable and consistent linkage of healthcare information residing in electronic health record (EHR) systems with information in clinical research information systems, such as clinical trials.
