Method being used in this is paper is literature review analysis and Scopus analyse tools. This papers begin with the explanation of general metadata that is required in system integration. Then the discussion highlighted the importance of metadata in electronic document management. Furthermore, the discussion reveals the challenges or barriers includes interoperability, security and privacy and preservation regarding electronic health records system integration. The important part of this paper is the analysis of related research. It is important in recognizing the relevancy of research topic and the area that has been explored by previous researchers. The findings conclude that the topics is demanded to be explore further and there is more to reveals especially in the management areas.
