c/o Internal Audit
505 Doyle Avenue
Kelowna, BC V1Y 0C5

Internal Audit reports directly to the Audit and Finance Committee of the Board of Directors and the CEO. This provides the department with the ability to operate independently and without bias in regard to health authority activities.

We are authorized to perform audits and have full, free and unrestricted access to all Interior Health facilities and facilities under contract, records, accounts, files, minutes, and any other documentation, of Interior Health and its programs.

Internal Audit provides the following types of services:

• Risk assessments to identify and evaluate significant risk exposures
• Control assessments to evaluate their effectiveness and identify  improvements 
• Compliance audits which examine adherence to contractual, policy/procedural and legislated requirements
• Performance audits which examine completion of requirements within the terms of an agreement
• Financial audits to examine the reasonability of financial information 
• Information system reviews of existing or new systems, before and after implementation, to ensure they are secure and meet Interior Health needs
• Investigative assignments to assess claims of non-compliance with Interior Health policies/procedures and legislated requirements

The Interior Health Ethics Council provides guidance in interpretation and application of the principles of the IH Ethics Framework and supports ethical practice in all our sites, programs, and services. The Council’s function is to promote an integrated approach to ethics quality for our people, systems and processes.

The Research Ethics Board provides ethical review of all research involving Interior Health people or their information to protect research participants, researchers and the organization.

For more information visit our Research Ethics Review page.

The sphere of clinical ethics is focused on promoting the provision of quality health care with primary consideration to the needs, values, and preferences of the person receiving care. Clinical Ethics Committees support patients, families and health care providers with identifying and finding resolution for ethical issues in clinical care.

Public Health ethics is concerned with the collective interests of a population (the public, a group, society, or community) for the common good. Many public health activities are not carried out independently; there is often a strong relationship with municipal, provincial or federal government influence where policy and practice intersect. Ethical issues may occur in any of the core public health functions: health protection, disease and injury prevention, health promotion, health assessment and surveillance, and emergency preparedness and response.

For public health consultation contact the Office of the Medical Health Officer.

We are committed to fostering integrity in our workplace through ethical business practices.

All projects involving people and their private information require ethics review using the ARECCI© process. Ethics must be considered in all stages of a project and using the tools will guide project teams in managing the ethical concerns identified during project development. Using an ethical review framework and a validated process to review projects helps to ensure that we protect the people we serve, our staff, and the organization.

Health Technology Assessment uses standardized criteria to evaluate and support decisions involving the implementation of new and proven technologies or the disinvestment of obsolete technologies across the health authority.
