[Aim] For the research and development of the hospital information system (HIS), an evaluation report on effectiveness of the HIS in each facility is one of the important resources. In reference to the IS guideline, bibliographic investigation is conducted in order to grasp the present situation of the effectiveness evaluation of HIS. [Method] Being based on the IS guideline, the six checkpoints which should be described in the article on the effectiveness evaluation of HIS was arranged. Among the articles of the Joint Conference of Medical Informatics (JCMI) of 2010-2012, the articles indicated “system” and “evaluation” in the title were extracted, and the six checkpoints were investigated. [Result] 53 articles were extracted, and 23 articles except 30 which were not related to a HIS were investigated. Many articles had problems about the six checkpoints. [Discussion] The result suggested a necessity for a guideline about how to write more effectively on evaluation of HIS.
