This study aims to investigate studies on information system in health used by the Brazilian Unified Health System and to point out the difficulties in its applicability. This is an integrative review conducted through an online bibliographic search of the scientific production from 2009 to 2013. The articles that composed the corpus analysis revealed the need to develop systems for public access and usage by using tools able to offer consistent data and contribute to the optimization of support management provided by the National Unified Health System.
