Objective: To investigate how pharmacists record clinical interventions in hospitals. Method: The integrative review was used as a research method. The databases Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, Scientific Eletronic Library Online, ScienceDirect and Web of Science have been referred to, using the combination of terms and boolean operators “("pharmacist" OR "pharmaceutical services" OR "pharmacy service, hospital") AND ("hospitals") AND ("medical records" OR "health records, personal" OR "electronic health records" OR "registries")”. The methodological quality of the studies was evaluated under criteria regarding level of evidence. The articles were grouped according to their subject relatedness. Results: 26 articles published between 2008 and 2018, in English, Spanish and Portuguese have been included. Most studies are originally form the USA, published in the years of 2014 and 2015. Only 31% of the studies report registry of the pharmaceuticals’ clinical activities on the medical records. Conclusions: A small portion of the articles on clinical activities of the pharmacist in a hospital makes it clear that the record regarding the practice of patient care was carried out in medical records. Most articles report the record of clinical activities in other database. The fact that the pharmacist inserts information related to his clinical activities in other databases can facilitate the measurement of clinical and economic outcomes. However, the record of clinical action in the patient's record cannot be neglected because it is the patient's right and duty the health professional.
