The 2017 annual review in several health sectors highlighted the importance of medical auditing, based on the analysis of accounts, extensions with pertinent discussions between external and internal auditor, concurrent audit, using medicine based on evidence to reduce costs and guarantee the quality of services provided. The article is justified by the scarcity of academic studies that link Health Economics with the implementation of internal audits, as it is a subject little explored by scientific research yet. The study consists in bibliographic research on the most recent publications that address the theoretical and practical concepts related to the implementation of Strategic Sourcing programs in the field of health in large hospitals of high and medium complexity. It is necessary to define the role of the health auditor as the professional who will help managers to see the medical bill based on the value in health and not only in the cut in hospital expenses.
