Overview
The CPMF is a standardized reporting tool that was launched by the Ministry of Health in 2020. Through the CPMF, regulatory colleges are required to measure and report on Ministry-specified standards and indicators in a standardized way. This information is not assessed by the Ministry but rather shared with the public to help strengthen accountability and oversight of Ontario’s health regulators.
There were no changes to the 2024 CPMF reporting template (reporting period: Jan 1 – Dec 31, 2024) from the 2023 template. The reporting tool continued to highlight eight pieces of ‘Benchmarked Evidence’. These pieces of evidence were identified as attributes of an excellent regulator that Colleges should meet or work towards meeting.
On March 17, 2024, the College posted and submitted its 2024 CPMF Report following Council’s approval. You can find the 2024 report along with previous reports here.
Analysis of Results
In the 2024 report, the College reported meeting or partially meeting all 50 measures (this number excludes the System Partner domain). The College met all 8 measures with the ‘Benchmarked Evidence’ designation. See Figure 1 for the distribution of responses in the 2024 CPMF report and Figure 2 for a comparison of the response distributions between the 2023 report and the 2024 report.
In 2024, the College improved two “Partially” responses to “Met” (3.3.b & 14.3.a) – one of which was around conducting an Equity Impact Assessment and the other around the public reporting of the College’s results for strategic objectives and regulatory outcomes, respectively.
The requirement that remains Partially Met will be achieved in 2025 following the completion of the OPR modernization work, where there are plans to collect registrant feedback and suggestions for support.
