The Ministry of Health requires all health regulatory colleges to submit a report called the College Performance Management Framework (CPMF) on March 31 of each year. Despite the unexpected events related to this College in the past month, we are happy to report that CTCMPAO has submitted its CPMF report to the Ministry on time. You can review the 2021 report here. See here for all of the College’s previous CPMF reports.
Since submitting our first CPMF report in March 2021, the College has taken the opportunity to reflect on areas where we can improve and have taken steps to better meet expectations of the Ministry. For example, the College has initiated a number of measures to improve our governance practices, including a complete governance review, and we began drafting competencies requirements for Council members. Furthermore, we have committed to a formal plan to better educate and prepare members for our Standards of Practice. This includes holding regular webinars and more frequent educational tips.
We also recognize that there is still work to be done, and we will continue to strive to meet expectations on the College.
The CPMF covers a wide variety of topics, like how colleges:
- perform as an organization;
- register applicants;
- measure practice improvement of regulated health professionals; and
- process complaints about their registrants.
The CPMF provides information on how colleges work with external partners, such as other regulatory colleges, educational programs and the broader healthcare system to improve public protection.
The CPMF also shares raw data about Ontario’s regulated health professionals and their participation in practice improvement. There is data about the number of complaints and the type of those complaints, and how many health professionals participated in practice improvement activities. Finally, the CPMF details each college’s commitment to making improvements over the next year, giving clear action/improvement plans.
Colleges will update this report annually, noting any progress on areas identified for improvement or adding new or updated information required by the Ministry of Health. These reports are one of the many ways colleges demonstrate their commitment to the public interest for the people of Ontario.
