Abstract : Purpose: The paper sought to investigate the landscaping of electronic system through the use of the functional patient's records management activities. The rationale is to share views and guide organisations that are struggling with providing specification for a functional records management system. Design/methodology/approach: The study used qualitative approach to apply the literature in supporting the views about landscaping electronic system using functional patient's records management activities. Findings: The study revealed that without consideration of records management activities the likelihood is that the system may be not properly functional. The best way to landscape electronic system for records management is using records management activities. This will assist in avoiding critical omission for inclusion of all records management system operational activities.
