Key Milestones for the Quality Assurance Program (QAP):
- June 2006 – Approval of Quality Assurance Program framework by the Board of Directors of CPTBC
The framework was based on a study commissioned by the Board of Directors and overseen by an appointed advisory committee who undertook a comprehensive review of other quality assurance programs in British Columbia, Canada and internationally.
- November 2007 – Approval of ‘roadmap’ used to guide the development of the QAP
This includes the selection of assessment tools and infrastructure as well.
- 2008 – Approval of ‘blueprint’ for building the QAP
The Annual Self Report Subcommittee and Registrant Competence Assessment Subcommittee move forward from ‘ideas’ to design implementation, including the drafting of the ‘blueprint’ for the Annual Self Report and Registrant Competence Assessment.
Consultation with registrants is set up through an online survey, which includes content areas covered by each component. The RCA Subcommittee and ASR Subcommittee proceed to develop items for their respective assessment tools.
- 2009 – Building the Annual Self Report & Registrant Competence Assessment
The RCA Subcommittee and ASR Subcommittee start to make considerable progress developing items for their respective assessment tools.
Plans for online implementation of the ASR are put into motion; pilot testing and launch are scheduled for 2010.
The RCA teams begin the review and approval process of assessment items.
- 2010 – Launch of Annual Self Report & further development of Registrant Competence Assessment
The ASR completes successful pilot testing in spring 2010, and launches in September 2010.
The RCA Subcommittee continues to develop and approve items, and set standards.
Throughout 2009 and 2010, there is significant communication and engagement with registrants regarding the Quality Assurance Program. Sample items from the Registrant Competence Assessment – called ‘Key Feature’ questions - are shared so that registrants can preview the sorts of items that will be included.
The Quality Assurance Committee recommends that the QAP blueprint is revised from 2 of 6 focus areas to 1 of 4 OR 1-2 of 4 areas.
- 2011 – Development of Registrant Competence Assessment, Refinement of Annual Self Report, Establishment of the Quality Monitoring Framework, Communications and Collaborations with Partners and Registrants
By ‘close’ of its inaugural year, virtually all of the 3,000 registrants sucessfully complete the ASR.
Year 1 analysis shows the Annual Self Report to be a success, reported at CPTBC Annual Meeting and at national conference on continuing competence.
Communications and activity continue with partners and registrants regarding the Registrant Competence Assessment, including clarifying design features and information about development plans.
Detailed outline for QAP blueprint is developed to assist RCA developers and inform registrants.
Quality monitoring framework (i.e logic model) for QAP is developed and priorities for quality monitoring are established. The framework will be released once approved by Board.
