health colleges protecting the public interest?&#8221;<\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the question the Ontario Ministry of Health asked health profession regulators to answer when it developed the College Performance Measurement Framework (CPMF).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Health regulatory colleges exist to protect the public interest. To help the public understand how well colleges are doing their job and to help continually improve accountability, transparency and oversight, all colleges are reporting on their work in the CPMF Reporting Tool. The new tool was developed by the Ministry, together with Ontario\u2019s health regulatory colleges, subject matter experts and the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CPMF covers a wide variety of topics, like how colleges:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>perform as an organization,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>register applicants,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>measure practice improvement of regulated health professionals, and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>process complaints about their registrants.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CPMF also shares raw data about Ontario\u2019s 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\u2019s commitment to making improvements over the next year, giving clear action\/improvement plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"college-performance-measurement-framework-submissions\"><strong>College Performance Measurement Framework&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>Submissions<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-off-white-background-color has-background\">CPMF reporting will not occur in 2025 while the Ministry of Health undertakes a comprehensive review and redesign of the CPMF reporting tool.&nbsp;Reporting is expected to resume in Fall 2026, covering the 2025 and 2026 calendar years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coto.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2024-CPMF-Reporting-Tool-Submission.pdf\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.coto.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2024-CPMF-Reporting-Tool-Submission.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2024 CPMF Reporting Tool<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coto.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/CPMF-Submission-March-31-2024.pdf\" data-type=\"attachment\" data-id=\"3698\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2023 CPMF Reporting Tool<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coto.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/CPMF-Tool-2022-March-31.pdf\" data-type=\"attachment\" data-id=\"3681\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2022 CPMF Reporting Tool<\/a>&nbsp;\u2014&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.coto.org\/about\/reports-accountability\/2022-cpmf-highlights\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"3692\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read the highlights<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coto.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/cpmf-submission-march-28-2022.pdf\" data-type=\"attachment\" data-id=\"3696\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2021 CPMF Reporting Tool<\/a> \u2014&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.coto.org\/about\/reports-accountability\/2021-cpmf-highlights\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"3700\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read the highlights<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coto.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/cpmf-submission-march-26-2021.pdf\" data-type=\"attachment\" data-id=\"3695\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2020 CPMF Reporting Tool<\/a><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"content-section-block has-fade-in-up  align wp-block-acf-content-section\" id=\"section-year-in-review-presentations\">\n    <div class=\"section-header \">\n        <h2>Year in Review Presentations<\/h2>\n            <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"content-section\" aria-hidden=\"false\">\n        <div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<p>The College&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coto.org\/about\/strategic-priorities\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.coto.org\/about\/strategic-priorities\/\">strategic priorities<\/a> and key accomplishments are presented to the Board every year in June with our Year in Review presentation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coto.org\/about\/strategic-priorities\/#section-year-in-review-presentations\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.coto.org\/about\/strategic-priorities\/#section-year-in-review-presentations\"><strong>See our Year in Review presentations<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"content-section-block has-fade-in-up  align wp-block-acf-content-section\" id=\"section-office-of-the-fairness-commissioner\">\n    <div class=\"section-header \">\n        <h2>Office of the Fairness Commissioner<\/h2>\n            <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"content-section\" aria-hidden=\"false\">\n        <div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<p>In accordance with the&nbsp;<em>Fair Access to Regulated Professions Act<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>2006<\/em>, the Office of the Fairness Commissioner requires that each regulated profession in Ontario submit a Fair Registration Practices Report annually.
