Background: Hospital Information System implementation is complex and costly compared to other information systems. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of designing and evaluating technical HIS requirements. Methods: This study was conducted in 2016 in two parts: designing technical requirements and evaluating the HIS. The first part of the study was performed through the Delphi technique. In the second part of the study, evaluation of systems was done using a checklist based on the approved requirements. Results: In the first part of the study, the final list of technical HIS requirements was designed with 73 items in four domains including ‘communication service’, ‘system architecture’, ‘security service’, and ‘system response time’. In the second part, the results of the evaluation indicated that the approved requirements had been observed in 63.8%, 65.5%, 72.4%, and 76.3% of the HIS software programs in the dimensions of ‘communication service’, ‘system architecture’, ‘security service’, and ‘system response time’, respectively. Conclusions: The technical HIS evaluation tool was designed to be used in the evaluation and selection of the system. The evaluation results also indicated that the studied HISs were weaker in ‘communication service’ and ‘system architecture’ domains compared to the other two domains under study.
