Abstract

This study, through an integrative review, analyzed the evidence of the information systems and the use of data for the management of care by health professionals. 17 studies were identified, from 2000 to 2013, on the databases Lilacs, SciELO and Medline. Three authors (17.6%) used the system data to support the clinical decision, six authors (35.3%) for management, monitoring services and planning of community health centers. Six authors (35.3%) pointed out difficulties to use the datadue to the lack of standard terminology, process failures resulting in inconsistent data, or the non-identification by professionals with those indicators in their reality. Two studies (11.8%) reported their experiences in informatization. It is concluded that the information technology still needs more research about the change of processes and informatization experiences.
