CMRITO
is required to have a mechanism to monitor registrants’ participation in and
compliance with the QA Program.
The
QA Committee monitors registrants’ participation and compliance in the QA Program. For
example, using reports generated by the QA ePortfolio tool, the QA Committee analyzes
de-identified statistical data about participation and compliance with the QA Program.
QA Assessments
Each
year, the CMRITO conducts assessments on QA ePortfolios of selected registrants. The
number of registrants required to submit their QA ePortfolio for assessment in any given year
is set by the CMRITO Council. Registrants that are selected for assessment through a random
selection process are notified by email and alerts are placed on their CMRITO profile and their
QA ePortfolio dashboard.
Outside
the general selection process, individual registrants may be required to submit their
QA records or to undergo a peer and practice assessment by the QA Committee.
Registrants
must co-operate with the QA Committee and any assessor appointed by the QA
Committee. Failure to co-operate with the College and failure to comply with a requirement of
the QA Committee and the QA Program are considered acts of professional misconduct.
The QA Committee
The
QA Committee is one of the CMRITO’s statutory committees and is comprised of
members of the CMRITO Council (both professional and public members) and CMRITO
registrants who have been appointed to the Committee. Members of the QA Committee are
required to keep all information about registrants’ QA records confidential except under certain
circumstances set out in the legislation.
The
role of the QA Committee is to administer the QA Program in accordance with the RHPA,
the QA regulation and any other applicable law. The QA Committee can require registrants to
submit their QA ePortfolio to the CMRITO for assessment. In most cases, the QA Committee
is satisfied with registrants’ QA records in their QA ePortfolio. However, after assessing a
registrant’s QA ePortfolio, the QA Committee can require a member to complete or revise
their QA records, complete one or more Specified Continuing Education or Remediation
Programs (SCERPs), complete a peer and practice assessment, or refer a registrant to the
Inquiries, Complaints and Reports Committee for investigation of allegations of misconduct,
incompetence, or incapacity.
