Abstract

The following research work was developed for the Expanded Program on Immunization Project under the direction of the Control and Quality Improvement Area established by the Auditing Office of Development at the Provincial Department of Health of Chimborazo for the period January 2010 to April 2011 with the purpose to present solutions of the problems encountered in the procedures analyzed. The Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) is focused on countering vaccine-preventable diseases through biological free application in the province of Chimborazo through operating units and health posts located in the different cantons and in other organizations such as, the General Teaching Hospital in Riobamba, the Alfonso Pediatric Hospital and the Hospital IESS Villagomez. The Expanded Program on Immunization is provided with its own operating budget, therefore it is necessary to verify efficiency and cost effectiveness through the application of management indicators. It is noteworthy that EPI has established an Annual Operating Plan, which was assessed using internal control questionnaires by the Method COSO, which presents observations and findings that are revealed in the report to the chief authority of the institution. It is indispensible to improve the existing processes in the various areas, business units and heath posts to obtain valid results and achieve the prospective objectives, in order to properly and timely plan the proper use of resources. In addition, it is recommended to consider the Performance Audit and accompanying observations.
