Ontario Clinic Regulation
If the regulation of clinics is of interest to you , you may have been following the consultations and information created for this topic over the past year . The College is one of 13 health regulators in Ontario exploring potential ways to increase oversight of health care clinics in Ontario in the interest of patient safety .
Following a public consultation period in November and December , 2015 the working group of regulators compiled a proposal for the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care .
Our College Council considered this proposal in June 2016 and agreed with its submission to the Ministry . Most of the Colleges participating in the initiative have also had a chance to consider this proposal and add their support for its submission .
In September , Increasing Patient Protection through Clinic Oversight – A Submission from the Clinic Regulation Working Group was submitted to the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care .
To access the submission , please visit our website and check the home page under What the College is Working On or visit www . ontarioclinicregulation . com
We will keep you informed as this initiative progresses .
