In December 2020, the Ontario Ministry of Health released the College Performance Measurement Framework (CPMF) to strengthen accountability and oversight of Ontario’s health regulatory colleges. The framework provides transparent, consistent, and aligned information on how colleges are performing in serving the public interest.
The CPMF consists of seven domains: Governance, Resources, System Partners, Information Management, Regulatory Policies, Suitability to Practice, and Measurement, Reporting and Improvement. Within each domain, specific components such as standards, measures, evidence and planned improvement activities set out expectations and requirements for the colleges to include/respond to in their submitted reports to the Ministry.
Effective March 31, 2021, Ontario’s health regulatory colleges were required to submit annual reports to the Ministry of Health using the CPMF reporting tool and to publish those reports on their public websites. In 2025, colleges were not required to submit CPMF reports to the Ministry of Health.
