Introduction: The Integrated Electronic Medical Record (IEMR) is a tool that centralizes patient medical information, improving efficiency in healthcare services. Its implementation optimizes data access, reduces costs, and enhances patient care. Objective: To identify the use and benefits of the IEMR in the efficiency of the healthcare system, evaluating its impact on clinical management, resource optimization, and patient safety. Methodology: A systematic review with a descriptive approach was conducted using databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and LILACS. Articles were selected based on specific inclusion criteria, and the PRISMA methodology was used for data collection. Results: The implementation of the IEMR improves the quality of care, reduces administrative times, and facilitates medical decision-making. It also enables better coordination among healthcare professionals, minimizing errors and promoting continuity of care. Conclusions: The IEMR is a key strategy for modernizing the healthcare system, favoring the integration of information between public and private sectors. Its implementation requires investment in technological infrastructure, staff training, and regulations to ensure data security.
