05.1 Evaluation of June 12 2015 Council Meeting S. Whyte summarized the Council Meeting evaluations, and thanked those Council members that responded. S. Whyte shared his perspective on the Council meeting survey input received. Consensus was for Council to proceed with the current survey process regardless of light participation (10 of 16 Council members responded). It was noted that the process will be adjusted over time. Council was encouraged to participate so a full array of input is received.

06 Registrar’s Report

The Registrar, Brian O’Riordan, welcomed new Council members Jennifer Anderson and Vince Bucci.

The Registration staff was commended for the overall success of the College’s on-line registration renewal process, October 1, 2015 being renewal deadline date.

It was noted that 125 members are pending renewal, 40 have resigned and it is expected a portion of the 125 may resign.

The Registrar summarized his report including mention of CASLPO’s e-Newsletter, issue 2 ex.press. B. O’Riordan highlighted the July 8, 2015 FHRCO meeting at which Assistant Deputy Minister Denise Cole made a presentation to the FHRCO Board outlining the Ministry’s ambitious plans for a ‘Transparency Framework’ for the health professional regulatory Colleges. The need to keep focus on enhancing transparency for the public was reinforced. Any further proposals received from the Ministry will be shared with Council.

B. O’Riordan provided a fulsome update on recent developments concerning the Canadian Alliance of


Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology Regulators (CAASPR). It was noted that CAASPR’s financial position has not progressed as planned and coping measures will be discussed at the November 2015 meeting.

The CASLPO Forum, in North Bay including Webinar capability in multiple sites was well received and attended.

The CASLPO E-Forums, a new format focused on profession-specific practice issues was announced October 1, 2015. E-Forum 1 was announced via group email to SLP members for October 22, 2015. Within one day, the session was full with over 100 registrants. E-Forum 2, Private Practice Issues: Audiology will be held on Thursday October 22nd 2015, 12.00 – 1.30pm.

B. O’Riordan reported that R. Steinecke, of Steinecke, Macuira LeBlanc, is near completion of his regulatory health College governance videos and an accompanying booklet. Upon completion these will be shared with all College Councils.

07 3rd Quarter Financial Report 2014-15 R. Cimerman summarized the quarterly financial report noting we are in a great position being on track to meet our budget in spite of unexpected costs.

08 Strategic Plan 2015-2018

C. Bock summarized the report setting expectations for the work of Committees and staff to implement the plan. C. Bock noted that detail within the presentation today is an accumulation of all of the work that Council has done over the last 2 meetings. She noted the 4 goals and sub-outcomes arrived at by Council at the June 11, 2015 Council Strategic Planning session. C. Bock reported that after reviewing the draft structure and outcomes, those 4 goals fit nicely under the 3 new revised goals of:

1. Increase the public’s awareness of the College and its members.

2. Enhance the member’s quality of practice.

3. Increase transparency effective and efficiency.

A chart illustrating the three year cost was presented. It was noted that the pubic research polling project addressing goal number 1, is a priority project in year 1, designed, budget permitting with a plan to re-measure in year 3. Council was clear that the research data will

M: Approve the strategic plan for 2015-2018 as outlined.


contribute to strategic direction in terms of channels of communication and tactics. The Registrar noted that staff is very mindful of our multicultural society. Overall, a consistent, brand, “one voice” and integrated communications approach will be adopted.

Council concensus was that the revised version of the plan flows logically. It was agreed to incorporate interprofessional collaboration as a goal, not only as a communication message but as a guide to staff in terms of implementation.

Council was cognizant of drivers that may take the College off course. Several major possible drivers are:

1. Ministry’s direction regarding transparency and/or sexual abuse cases

2. OSLA’s bid for scope expansion

3. Exploring Clinic Regulation

4. Changes in the consent legislation

5. CAASPR and national competencies and entrance exam proposals

C. Bock shared that staff will report back on projects that are to be monitored at the Council, Executive or Committee Level; others will be monitored at the staff level.

Moved S. Wilson Seconded R. Fisher Carried

09 Proposed Annual Budget 2015-16

R. Cimerman, summarized CASLPO’s zero-based budget approach. Risks and big picture items and associated costs were identified. Council agreed to be mindful of the ongoing need to stabilize and control discretionary costs.

A fulsome budget presentation was given, including linkages to the new strategic plan, identifying those projects proposed for years 1, 2 and 3.

Council was advised that the Finance Committee will need to determine an updated policy on handling College reserves.

B. O’Riordan congratulated the Finance Committee on the proposals put forth today to ensure Council had all of the appropriate direction while supporting the financial planning principles.

M: Approve the proposed Annual Budget 2015-16.


B. O’Riordan shared that the legal costs set aside reflect the potential of cases or hearing(s) that could be required including legal preparation, internal and externally, on-site meetings and hearings. In harmony with that are the other areas in support of public protection overall.

Cost to complete office renovations to accommodate the increased number of staff and add branding in lobby and boardroom.

Legal costs were higher than expected due to the unanticipated length of proceedings for the Discipline cases relating to Berge

and Erle and the accrued costs for the new cases received before year end.

Staff development, Conferences & Presentations are over budget but consistent with costs incurred during the same period last

year. This line item contains multiple distinct expense categories which are separately budgeted for during the next budget

cycle.

Cost of new servers was fully reimbursed through the Ehealth project. In total, the E-Health project reimbursed $51K of costs

expended towards the project. The $51K is offset against the following expense lines: $25K Salaries (B. French and M. Willems

time to complete the project), $19K Computer hardware (server upgrade to facilitate the data transfer) & $7K External

Contractor (Data cleanup).

Change in travel expense allocation in fiscal 2015. A portion of travel was allocated to Regional Seminars in fiscal 2014 but

reallocated to Miscellaneous Travel in fiscal 2015. The total cost towards travel is below budget when both budget lines are

netted together.

Severance for former staff member in July 2015, several promotions/increases were not budgeted and unbudgeted part-time

resource added in Registration in June 2015.

Purchases of Council Boardroom microphones based on Council request and new phone system due to old system not being

supported.

Transparency and Openness Strategy

for Health Regulatory Colleges

Moving Forward

College Registrars’ Briefing

Health System Labour Relations and Regulatory Policy Branch

October 16, 2015

Purpose

1. To inform colleges regarding the commencement of implementation of the Transparency and Openness Strategy for Health Regulatory Colleges.

2. To discuss the establishment of Transparency Working Group, terms of reference and membership.

3. Aligning the Transparency and Openness Strategy (and the Transparency Working Group) with other initiatives aimed at modernizing the health regulatory framework

2

• To move forward on the implementation of the strategy, the ministry is establishing a Transparency Working Group (TWG) to facilitate the coordination and development of guidance for colleges in the implementation of transparency initiatives across the colleges.

• The TWG will be a multi-sectoral group with representatives from a cross section of colleges as well as patients and representatives from the wider health sector.

• The ministry is currently identifying members of the TWG, and will soon be reaching out to colleges for their assistance with this process.

• The preliminary meeting will be held on October 26, 2015. This will be college members of the TWG only to set the direction of the group and its terms of reference to ensure maximum value is derived from a multi sector effort.

• A kick-off meeting of the whole Transparency Working Group will be held on November 19, 2015.

The Next Phase in Implementation of the Transparency

Strategy: Establishing Transparency Working Group

Making More Information Publicly Available

Provide advice on and assist in the development common guidelines for all health regulatory colleges to promote:

• consistent and enhanced availability of information to the public via the public registers and website about their members;

• consistent and enhanced availability of information to the public regarding the colleges’ mandate and decision making

processes.

Decision-Making Process More Open and Accountable

Developing common guidelines for all health regulatory colleges to improve public engagement including:

• approaches to increase public input and public engagement;

• approaches to improve public access to the feedback colleges receive as a result of consultations; and

• approaches to measure and evaluate the impact of greater public engagement on college processes and on public

confidence in the colleges.

Having Information that is Easy to Understand

Providing recommendations to the ministry regarding requirements for a Common Online Information Portal to facilitate public

access to information about regulated health professionals, health regulatory colleges and their public consultations.

Considerations will include:

• governance and ongoing administration of the portal;

• resource/procurement needs;

• the scope of information that would be available through the portal; and

• development of online resources for the public.

Strategy Coordination

• Developing an implementation work plan including timelines for implementation.

• Ensuring appropriate coordination and communication with the colleges to facilitate implementation.

• Monitoring and reporting on the progress of implementation.

5

“Prototype” Terms of Reference

Membership

• 14 members in total; composition is aimed at obtaining diverse and representative perspectives

from across the sector.

• As all colleges cannot be represented on this working group, the ministry is selecting a balanced

representative selection of college members which takes a number of perspectives into account

(e.g. college membership size, college age, direct vs. indirect patient care etc.).

• That said, college TWG members will not be representing the views of their organizations, but will

be contributing their expertise and their unique perspectives

• The ministry will be seeking senior staff (below Registrar level) from colleges to provide broad

perspective on implementation effects on colleges and guidance on appropriate implementation

approaches.

Alignment with other Initiatives

8

• The transparency Strategy (and its working group) will require alignment and coordination with

other initiatives aimed at modernization of our health regulatory framework.

• All colleges will have the opportunity to have representatives on working groups.

• As other working groups are struck, it is intended that they will report to a Health Regulatory

Modernization Advisory Table (HRMAT) comprising of Registrars, ministry representatives who will

advise on the efforts of the working groups and endorse its work (e.g. guidelines, standards, etc.)

to the ministry.

• The ministry will work with college Councils to implement guidelines, standards, recommendations

consistently across all colleges.

How Colleges Can Participate

• A principle goal of the strategy is to establish consistency in the implementation of transparency initiatives – the colleges are asked for their support and cooperation in this endeavour.

• The role of colleges and their Councils will be to implement policies, guidelines and recommendations of the TWG (and other working groups) once approved by the Advisory Table and the ministry.

• It is intended that college Councils would be able to make necessary adaptations to common policies and guidelines where appropriate for their specific professions’ contexts.

• As well as participating on working groups, colleges will be provided opportunities to provide input in the TWG’s process, however, the guidance provided by the TWG will be independent of college Council decision-making.

9

• Ministry staff to reach out to specific colleges to request assistance in

identifying staff members to participate in the TWG.

• Finalize members of the TWG.

• Establish the agenda for the first TWG meeting on November 19,2015

UPDATE ON CANADIAN ALLIANCE OF AUDIOLOGY AND SPEECH-LANGUAGE PATHOLOGY REGULATORS (CAASPR) BRIAN O’RIORDAN MEETING DATE December 11, 2015

REPORT DATE December 8, 2015

BACKGROUND You will recall that at our last Council meeting, I indicated that I would be stepping up to become Chair of the CAASPR Board earlier than expected due to the unexpected resignation of the then current chair. That duly took place on October 13 during a Board teleconference meeting. Subsequently, I chaired my first Board meeting on November 5-6, 2015 in Vancouver. Just prior to the October 13 meeting, Karen Luker, Executive Director CAASPR since 2010, announced her intention to resign effective November 30, 2015. Virtually all provincial regulatory agencies, such as CASLPO, belong to national forums of regulators, such as CAASPR. CAASPR, or as it was first known, CAR, was founded in 2008 by the seven provincial agencies where Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists are regulated:

Ontario Quebec Alberta British Columbia New Brunswick Manitoba Saskatchewan

Recently, the profession became regulated in Newfoundland and Labrador and legislation to regulate both professions in Nova Scotia has been introduced. However, neither of these provinces are currently at the CAASPR table. The Board of Directors of CAASPR has two representatives from each Province, the Registrar and President, for a total of 14. The Legislative context for our involvement with CAASPR can be found within the Ontario Regulated Health Professions Act, which enjoins each College to:

“ensure that the process it follows in establishing or amending occupational standards for certificates of registration is conducive to labour mobility within Canada;

Take steps to reconcile differences between the occupational standards it has established for certificates of registration and occupational standards in effect with respect to the profession in the other provinces and territories of Canada that are parties to the Agreement on Internal Trade; and

Ensure that the occupational standards it establishes for certificates of registration are consistent with such common interprovincial or international occupational standards as may have been developed for the profession. 2009, c.24, s. 33 (5).”

We have found CAASPR to be the best vehicle for allowing us to ensure we are in compliance with the RHPA. By 2011, CAASPR had made substantial progress in addressing the establishment of National Professional Competencies, an Academic Hours Equivalency Framework and the identification of possible national approaches to:

an entry-to-practice examination an applicant on-line portfolio tool Language Proficiency standards

To explore the development of these and other items, CAASPR received from the Federal government a grant of $1.3M in 2011. Virtually all other national consortia of regulators also received such funding in order to facilitate labour mobility across Canada. Karen Luker took over the role of Project Manager for the various projects. Many consultants worked on aspects of the registration harmonization initiatives. However, at the end of three years, several items remained at preliminary research stages, including the national examination project. CAASPR forwarded a second proposal in July 2014, for grant funding to the federal government. The government did not respond to the application, and in the summer of 2015, Karen advised that she believed no additional funding would be forthcoming. All of these developments have necessitated some major adjustments in CAASPR’s approaches and operations, going forward. CAASPR’s annual core funding has always been provided by the seven regulatory agencies, including ourselves. The membership contribution from each province is calculated on the basis of $5 per registrant. So, in our case, this is now roughly $20,000 (4,000 members x $5). CAASPR’s total contribution from all provinces is approximately $45,000. The organization has no reserves, and currently has cash on hand of around $45,000.

DECISIONS MADE AT NOVEMBER 5-6, 2015 CAASPR BOARD MEETING

As Chair, I indicated that the organization needed to undergo a major re-think and overhaul. The key components of this are the following:

Development of a realistic business plan before any decisions can be made with respect to future staffing needs and strategic plans, and possible increases in member fees.

Provinces re-committed to the components of a National Competency – Based Assessment Framework, including a national examination.

Work on components of the Framework will be led by individual provinces, with, in most cases, several other provinces providing support.

The Registrars in each province will meet on a monthly basis for the foreseeable future.

A Registration Service Staff Network will be established.

The Board of Directors will review progress on key projects at its next face-to-face meeting in April 2016.

The decisions made by the Board were developed by me into an organizational “Action Plan” going forward.

IMPLICATIONS FOR CASLPO As Chair of CAASPR, I am committed to re-balancing the organization. All files, bank accounts and corporate documents have been transferred to me. I will also play a leading or strong supporting role with respect to several key initiatives over the coming months:

Finalizing National Competency Profiles

Development of a sound organizational Business Plan

Pilot validation of on-line Portfolio Tool

Meeting with Speech-Language and Audiology Canada (CSAC) to explore potential for co-operation on development of a national entry-to-practice examination

Finalizing a Language Proficiency Standard for the professions

Implementation of the Academic Equivalency Framework to improve credential assessment of applicants

Explore development of National approach to mentorship/supervised practice

Finalize national approach to Telepractice issues

Develop policy approach/framework for developing clinical guidelines

Review of corporate governance structure

Therefore, over the coming months, I will likely need to draw on internal CASLPO resources to advance policy formation and decision-making at the CAASPR level. The short and long-term benefits to CASLPO of a financially healthy, effective and well-functioning CAASPR are potentially large. However, getting there is going to require some intensive effort over the next several months. Therefore, I am, at the administrative level, working through how best to balance our internal strategic priorities with the external demands of CAASPR, and how best to resource our commitments. I will be keeping the President, Executive Committee and Council informed of these matters as we move forward.

CASLPO FORUMS 2015

The College is constantly seeking to improve communications with our members. CASLPO Forum has replaced the Regional Seminars. We will still visit different areas of the province every year to meet members face to face, but, as a result of member feedback on the Regional Seminars, the focus has changed.

A forum is defined as “a place or opportunity to discuss a subject”. We want to make CASLPO Forum more interactive and give members an opportunity to discuss their issues as they relate to the College, regulations and standards of practice.

Our three goals are:

1) To provide members with the latest updates from the College including new projects, processes and documents

2) To answer the members’ questions and discuss their issues 3) To discuss common practice issues through authentic clinical scenarios

We had a successful year reaching nearly 400 members in comparison with 92 in 2014. We were able to update the members with important internal and external news and events followed by significantly more interactive discussion. The first CASLPO Forum took place at the CASLPO Offices in Toronto on May 28th 2015. The month of May was chosen to help celebrate ‘May is Better Speech and Hearing Month’. It was also an excellent opportunity for staff at the College to meet the members. We also visited Kitchener, North Bay and Kingston.

1. Strategic Priorities The Deputy Registrar provided a synopsis of the following projects within the strategic plan related to Registration:

a. Enhance the evaluation of Initial Practice Registrants (IPRs) b. Develop training for mentors c. Align process more closely with the online Self Assessment Tool

2. CAASPR Projects

The Registrar provided the Registration Committee with an overview of CAASPR’s current status and highlighted the following upcoming projects: Finalize the National Competency Profiles for SLPs and AUDs Develop CAASPR Business Plan Operationalize On-line Portfolio Tool Continue exploration of developing approach to concept of National Entry to Practice

Examination Finalize Language Proficiency Standards Implementation of Academic Equivalency Framework (AEF) to Improve Credential

Assessment Develop Standardized Mentorship/Supervised Practice Proposals for CAASPR Board

Consideration Establish CAASPR Registration Services Staff Network Finalize National Approach to Telepractice Issues

3. FAQ for Completing Additional Clinical Practicum Hours

A draft document containing frequently asked questions for completing additional clinical practicum hours was reviewed. The Committee discussed the criteria for the practicum site. It was recommended that it should be the practicum supervisor that is currently or previously associated with the clinical teaching component of a university program in either audiology or speech-language pathology instead of the site.

The Committee also discussed directing applicants to the university programs for information about potential practicum sites. A revised draft of the document is to be reviewed at the next Registration Committee meeting.

4. The Professional Master’s Degree A previous decision of the Registration Committee is currently being appealed.

The Committee recommended that staff prepare a draft on this issue for review at the next Registration Committee meeting.

In addition, the following application cases were reviewed:

The Quality Assurance (QA) Committee met in person on November 30th, 2015 and via teleconference on October 28th, 2015.

New members were welcomed and a committee orientation took place.

1) PEER ASSESSMENT

A) PEER ASSESSMENT: 2015

In December 2014, 32 members were randomly selected for peer assessment. Six members were deferred: one is non-clinical, one chose to change registration status to Non-Practicing and four will be peer assessed in 2016.

All 26 peer assessment site visits have been completed and the QA Committee has reviewed all of the Peer Assessment Reports. Twenty one members’ knowledge, skills and judgement was found to be satisfactory and have successfully completed all requisite components of the Quality Assurance Program. Five members have been asked to provide further evidence to show they are meeting Practice Standards.

B) PEER ASSESSMENT: CONTENT

The latest draft of the Clinical Reasoning Tool (CRT) was sent to two focus groups for review and feedback:

1) Managers and Supervisors – 12 participated

2) SLPs – 6 participated

A summary of recommendations from the two groups is as follows:

Develop (and include in the Guide) a methodology to measure CRT validity and Peer Assessor reliability

Provide more support materials to the membership (written, videos, webinars)

Develop examples of sound clinical reasoning

Make the reasoning factors and questions less direct

Arrangements for the remaining focus groups (audiologists, members recently peer assessed, mentors and university faculty) are underway.

A proposed project plan was shared. The tentative date to trial the beta version with members being Peer Assessed is January 2017.

C) NON-CLINICAL PEER ASSESSMENT

The committee are in the initial stages of exploring a non-clinical peer assessment process. A proposed project plan was shared with the committee.

REPORT TO COUNCIL DISCIPLINE COMMITTEE MEETING DATE December 11, 2015


STATUS OF DISCIPLINE MATTERS There is currently one referral before the Discipline Committee. The Kerry Erle matter commenced on October 6, 2015 and October 7, 2015. At the start of the hearing, the member was self‐represented. The hearing was scheduled to resume on October 13, 2015; however, the member retained legal counsel on October 9, 2015. The College consented to the member’s request to adjourn the hearing in light of having retained legal counsel. The hearing resumed on November 26, 2015, at which time the parties agreed to adjourn the matter sine die (i.e. indefinitely) in light of the member’s resignation from the College effective November 20, 2015. The panel issued the order to adjourn the matter sine die with reasons for the decision to follow. By way of update with respect to the Brenda Berge matter, the hearing to determine what, if any, penalty and costs order should be made against the member proceeded on September 2, 2015. The Discipline Committee’s decision with respect to sanction and costs was released on October 25, 2015. The Discipline Committee ordered as follows with respect to sanction:

Directing the member to appear before it to be reprimanded, on a date to be fixed.

Directing the Registrar to suspend the member’s certificate of registration for a period of three continuous months, one month of which shall be remitted. The suspension shall commence on a date to be fixed by the Registrar, although such date shall be within three months of the Order taking effect.

Directing the Registrar to impose a term, condition and limitation on the member’s certificate of registration,

o Requiring that she successfully complete a course in ethics, focusing on professional obligations, such as the ProBe course, to the satisfaction of the Registrar, and at the member’s own expense.

o Requiring the member to undergo two unannounced inspections per annum at the member’s expense, to a total of $500.00 per inspection, over the course of three years.

The College asked the Discipline Committee to order costs against the member. In support of its request, the College provided the Discipline Committee with material that demonstrated that its actual costs were in the range of $260,000. The College asked the Committee to order the member to pay $100,000 over a one‐year period. The Discipline Committee ordered as follows with respect to costs:

of 2

The member is ordered to pay to the College its costs fixed in the amount of $97,595.00, to be payable over three years in accordance with the following schedule: the first $15,000.00 shall be paid within sixty days of the Order becoming final and the remaining amount shall be paid in two equal installments of $41,297.50, the first $41,297.50 payment to be paid twelve months after the Order becomes final and the second $41,297.50 payment to be paid twenty‐four months thereafter.

Ms. Berge has appealed the panel’s findings that she engaged in professional misconduct as described above to the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Divisional Court). The College has been working with external legal counsel to prepare for the pending appeal; it is anticipated that dates for the appeal will be set for early 2016. It is expected the College will respond to the appeal.

DISCIPLINE COMMITTEE MEETINGS SINCE SEPTEMBER 1, 2015 (DATE LAST REPORT FOR COUNCIL WAS PREPARED) Meetings of the Committee are scheduled as needed to deal with training and policy matters. The Discipline Committee met on October 28, 2015 to elect a Chair. Deb Zelisko (AUD) was elected.

FINANCE COMMITTEE

FROM

MEETING DATE

Ruth Cimerman

December 11, 2015


The Finance Committee met via teleconference on October 15, 2015 and considered the

following items.

1) REVIEW PRE AUDIT COMMUNICATION FROM AUDITORS

Audit partner from Hilborn, Blair McKenzie, presented the pre audit communication to

the Finance Committee. He spoke about the audit approach, the procedures the

auditors will perform and the concept of materiality. He spoke about the role and

duties of the Finance Committee in relation to risk and confirmed that they were

aware of their role. He asked if they had any knowledge or indication of

organizational management fraud, error or misrepresentation. They confirmed that

they did not have any such knowledge or indication. He also gained insight from the

Committee on the procedures they use to oversee internal control and risk.

2) ELECTION OF CHAIR

Vicky Papaioannou was nominated to Chair the Finance Committee. Vicky accepted

the nomination and, as no other names were proffered, Vicky was acclaimed as the

Chair of the Finance Committee.

The Finance Committee met via teleconference on December 1, 2015 and considered the

following items.

1) REVIEW OF POST AUDIT COMMUNICATION, DRAFT FINANCIAL

STATEMENTS AND COMMUNICATION AGENDA FOR COUNCIL MEETING

Audit partner from Hilborn, Blair McKenzie, presented the following documents to the

Finance Committee.

Post Audit Communication

Mr. McKenzie highlighted that the auditors remain independent and did

not find any issues with respect to the audit.

Draft Financial Statements

Mr. McKenzie went through each statement in detail and highlighted the

following items:

o A “Clean” Audit Opinion was rendered.

o There are no significant year-over-year changes to financial

statement presentation.

o Statement of Financial Position shows growth in Cash,

Investments and Deferred Membership Fees which is consistent

with an increase in the amount of the renewal fee and the number

of members who paid the fee.

o Investigations and Hearings expense and Accrued Liabilities

increased due to the number and complexity of ICRC and

Discipline cases open at year end. The increase of costs in this

area is a consistent trend across the 12 Colleges that Hilborn

audits.

o Net Assets (reserve balances) are in line with Canada Revenue

Agency (CRA) guidelines which dictate that Unrestricted reserves

should equal 3-6 months of operating expenses. CASLPO is at

the low end of the threshold but is rebuilding its reserves.

o The Statement of Cash Flows reinforces that CASLPO is very

liquid ($2.7M in cash) and does not have a cash flow problem.

Communication Agenda for Council Meeting

The Committee agreed with the recommended Agenda for the Council

meeting with respect to the communication of the Audit results and Draft

Financial Statements.

The Committee recommended that all documents be brought to Council for Approval.

2) REVIEW OF 2014-15 ACTUAL RESULTS WITH RESPECT TO 2014-15

AND 2015-16 BUDGET

Staff reviewed the 2014-15 Financial Report and highlighted the change in variance

for Salaries and Benefits and Investigations and Hearings from the Q3 Financial report.

Although the budget target was not met, CASLPO still met the objective of generating

a net profit to add back to reserves.

Staff presented the 2014-15 actual results in relation to the 2015-16 budget. The

objective of the analysis was to operationalize the Committee’s oversight function and

give comfort that the 2015-16 budget, which was created based on forecasted

estimates of 2014-15 results, still makes sense in light of actual 2014-15 results. The

Committee concluded that the 2015-16 budget does not need to be modified at

present.

3) REAPPOINTMENT OF AUDITOR

The Committee is recommending to Council that Hilborn be reappointed as auditors.

REPORT TO COUNCIL SPEECH LANGUAGE PATHOLOGY PRACTICE ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING DATE December 11th 2015

REPORT DATE November 26th 2015

MEMORANDUM SUBJECT: MONITORING THE STRATEGIC PLAN FOR 2015-2018 TO Council

FROM Carol Bock

DATE December 1, 2015 MEETING DATE December 11, 2015

ACTION REQUESTED:

Information only.

BACKGROUND:

On November 20, 2015 the Executive Committee met and discussed the monitoring of the strategic plan. At that meeting it was determined which projects will be monitored at the committee level and which will be monitored at the staff level. In addition, the Executive Committee determined the process for effective monitoring.

The chart below outlines the allocation of projects to committees. The alignment is based on the specific focus of the project. Committees will be provided with regular updates on the progress of those projects, with an emphasis on reporting on metrics. Some projects do not lend themselves to being aligned with a particular committee. If policy decisions do arise in those instances, staff will advise the Executive Committee.

The monitoring process will be as follows:

1. Staff will report details of progress to those committees who are charged with their monitoring. When the projects require policy development, then the committee will provide those decisions and make recommendations to the Executive Committee. In addition, the Committee will make recommendations to the Executive Committee if they are of the opinion that changes are needed to the general direction of a project or that an alternate project is required. If there is not a designated committee, then staff will make recommendations directly to the Executive Committee.

2. The Executive Committee will oversee all projects on a quarterly basis by tracking the progress and the metrics for each, with a view to;

a. ensuring the strategic plan is being met and/or b. recommending adjustments to the plan to Council

3. The Council will review the progress of all projects quarterly, as well but with a view to broader oversight which would include more in-depth analysis if modifications to the strategic plan are recommended.

CASLPO HAS SET THE COURSE FOR 2015 TO 2018

The work of CASLPO over the next 3 years will affect you, our stakeholders.

As a public consumer, a professional member, a regulatory colleague or as a public servant the CASLPO Strategic Plan will serve as a road map that outlines where we are going and how we will get there. Knowing and understanding our strategic plan will enable you to anticipate the achievements of CASLPO, participate in our processes and share in our success!

Our Strategic Plan is an essential governance and administrative tool. It focuses Council members and staff on working toward the same goals and outcomes. The development of this Plan involved a very disciplined, collective effort of all involved to construct a cornerstone framework for informed and high-impact decisions and actions that will shape and shepherd CASLPO to realize a new and improved vision and way of delivering services.

BACKGROUND TO PLANNING In 2011, CASLPO developed robust Vision, Mission, Mandate and Values statements. These were the anchors for the development of our previous three-year strategic plan and for this new strategic plan. They are as follows:

VISION:

“CASLPO will be an outstanding leader among the regulators of health care professionals.”

MISSION:

“The College is committed to ensuring that the people of Ontario receive respectful, effective, high quality audiology and speech-language pathology services provided by competent self-regulated practitioners.”

MANDATE:

“The purpose of the College is to regulate the professions of Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology. The College serves and protects the public interest, and governs its members in accordance with the Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991 (RHPA), the Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology Act, 1991 (ASLPA), and the regulations, policies and by-laws of the College.”

VALUES:

Serves and Protects the Public Interest

The College acts to serve and protect the public interest.


Provides Quality Service

The College provides high quality service to the public and to its members. It strives to improve continuously its level of service delivery.

Accountability & Transparency

The College is accountable to the public, the government and its members through governance and administrative processes that are open, fair, responsive, respectful and professional.

Acts with Integrity

The College treats and people and its stakeholders with dignity and respect.

Teamwork and Collaboration are Essential

The knowledge, commitment and skills of Council, staff, volunteers and members drive the College’s success. Individual roles are defined and clearly understood and everyone involved works in a collegial manner together.”

PLANNING PROCESS

STRATEGIC DIRECTIONS ENVIRONMENTAL SCAN

The Council initiated the process by generating an environmental scan that included:

Social trends Health care trends Professional trends Provincial issues National context

As a result of this fulsome review, the Council identified key challenges for CASLPO and our members: SUMMARY OF FACTORS IMPACTING THE PROFESSIONALS

Patients are generally more knowledgeable and therefore have sophisticated

expectations

Health care continues to shift from institutional to community and home care

Health care needs are increasing while provincial health budgets are more

restrained

Demands for use of less expensive support personnel are increasing


SLPs in private practice continue to grow and opportunities for peer interaction

will decrease

Increases in private practice are making business practice issues more

prominent

Service delivery models for SLP services in Ontario are rapidly changing to

maximize resources

Commercial environments are producing challenges in providing quality services

Expanding need for interprofessional collaboration to be effective in different

environments

SUMMARY OF FACTORS IMPACTING CASLPO

Increasing demands for transparency in health regulation (in Ontario, in Canada, and

internationally)

Complaints process not well understood by the public across all health Colleges

Persistent misunderstandings of the College roles and responsibilities

Exploration of clinic regulation

Increasing numbers of private practitioners which is a known risk factor for complaints

Increasing need to articulate realistic and appropriate standards and guidelines

for working with regulated and unregulated professionals

Drive towards integration of national competency profiles with effects on

Registration, Quality Assurance, Practice Advice, University curricula

Exploration of centralized application assessment and mentoring processes


THE STRATEGIC PLAN EMERGES As the Council reviewed the challenges and opportunities in the current environment, clear goals emerged. With those goals came specific outcomes, or in other words, what the world for our stakeholders would look like if we achieved these goals.

OUTCOMES What follows are our goals, along with what outcomes that will tell us we have achieved the goals.

1. INCREASE THE PUBLIC’S AWARENESS OF THE COLLEGE AND ITS MEMBERS

When we achieve this goal, the public will be more aware of: • CASLPO and its role

• What the College can do for them (services)

• How to access our services (especially complaints process and how to access members)

• What our members do

• What to expect of members

• Advantages of accessing a RHP

2. ENHANCE THE MEMBERS’ QUALITY OF PRACTICE

When we achieve this goal, the members will: • Understand the role of the College

– Including the distinction between the College and an association

• Know what competencies and standards are expected

• Understand the principles that underlie the College standards, including ethics

• Reflect on their own practice effectively

• Effectively engage in interprofessional collaboration which will include both regulated and unregulated professionals

• Effectively adopt changes in scopes of practice

3. INCREASE TRANSPARENCY, EFFECTIVENESS AND EFFICIENCY

When we achieve this goal, CASLPO will:


• Make more information available as a matter of course

• Use communication channels that reach both the public and the members

• Measure the effectiveness of communication regularly

• Speak with a consistent style and voice

HOW WILL WE GET THERE? Although CASLPO identified specific outcomes they are hoping to see over the next 3 years, there was still a need to sort out how they would achieve those outcomes. So CASLPO then developed a set of concrete projects that will target these outcomes and provide measurable progress towards the 3 strategic goals. These are CASLPO’s deliverables.

1. INCREASE THE PUBLIC’S AWARENESS OF THE COLLEGE AND ITS MEMBERS CASLPO commits to measuring public perception through polling. Without having some clear evidence regarding what the public knows, we are not able to effectively impact that.

With this crucial evidence, we will develop short, simple videos and brochures containing key messages to deliver. We will employ strategies to “drive” these messages directly to the public through a variety of media (e.g. direct distribution, social media).

We will then measure the effect through polling again

2. ENHANCE THE MEMBERS’ QUALITY OF PRACTICE

Enhancing quality practice may be achieved through a myriad of opportunities. The Council determined that the most effective way to achieve this goal was to capitalize on our existing supportive relationships with our members. CASLPO will implement a three-pronged approach involving improvements in our mentorship process, the quality assurance program and improvements to our practice standards.

• Through Mentorship process

– Align process more closely with the online Self Assessment Tool

– Enhance the evaluation of Initial Practice Registrants (IPRs)

– Develop training for mentors

• Through Quality Assurance process

– Enhance the QA program by adding focus on reflective practice

– Increase the number of peer assessments


– Include non-clinical practitioners in peer assessment

– Enhance remediation for those who fall below the standards

• Through Practice Standards

– Revisions to all standards with a structure that captures general and disorder-specific competencies

– Use of a written style and structure that is more accessible

– Highlight inter-professional collaboration approaches and principles

– Provide support materials for new standards as they are developed

LOOKING FORWARD As stakeholders you can look forward to tracking our progress through our Council meetings, where the Strategic Plan will be monitored. You can engage in our newsletter “ex.press”, you can go to our website to track our projects or you can drop us an email or give us a call.

We are always interested in your perspective to stay engaged!
