In 2020, the Ministry of Health established the College Performance Measurement Framework (CPMF), a standardized annual reporting requirement for all health regulatory colleges.
Colleges like CNO use the CPMF to measure and report how we are acting in the public interest.
Completing the CPMF allows CNO to reflect on our achievements, measure ourselves against best practices in regulation and identify areas where we can improve.
The Ministry requires us to report on the following seven domains that relate to how we perform our key statutory functions and serve the public interest:
- Governance
- Resources
- System Partner
- Information Management
- Regulatory Policies
- Suitability to Practice
- Measurement, Reporting and Improvement
The standards for each domain outline best practices of regulatory excellence. Colleges update this report annually, noting any progress on areas they identified as needing improvement and adding new or updated information.
After reviewing the reports, the Ministry provides CNO with performance feedback. These reports are one of the ways colleges demonstrate their commitment to the public interest for the people of Ontario.
