PQPP Components

The Professional & Quality Practice Program (PQPP) will be made up of three components:

  1. CPD Annual Touchpoints
  2. Practice Support & Resources
  3. Quality Assurance Assessments

1. CPD ANNUAL TOUCHPOINTS 

  • To be completed by all CHCPBC licensees.
  • Estimated to take 2-3 hours to complete.
  • Will be available in October and November each year, to be completed by November 30 (starting in 2026).
  • Will be online, using the same platform used for licensure. Licensees will not have to complete all of the steps in one sitting unless they choose to, as the online portal will support multiple visits, whenever convenient during the months allotted for completion each year.

    Standards Review

    With new harmonized Ethics & Practice Standards in place, this first touchpoint will involve licensees reviewing up to 4 different standards each year, specified by the college, to help them prepare for the second touchpoint: the Standards Quiz. It also offers licensees an opportunity to consider the new expectations of health professionals “to protect the public from harm and discrimination” and “to take anti-discrimination measures,” found in Section 72 of the Health Professions and Occupations Act that came into force on April 1, 2026.

    • The Standards Review is a self-guided tool, in PDF format, for licensees to download and use to assist them in going through the standards that will be the focus of the quiz. The standards chosen for review in 2026 will be:
      • Communications
      • Consent
      • Discontinuing Health Services and Ensuring Continuity of Care
    • The Standards Review is not scored, reviewed, or submitted to the college, though licensees will attest to its completion.
    • It is planned that licensees will have access to the Standards Review as early as September each year.

      Standards Quiz

      The Standards Quiz is an online, open book quiz that licensees will complete on the same standards selected for review.

      • There is a specific version of the Standards Quiz for each profession.
      • Each licensee will be given six case scenarios, each with three related multiple-correct questions.
      • A feedback report with a score and answer explanations will be available upon quiz completion.
      • A pass score is not required for the Standards Quiz, though the college will monitor results of individuals, groups, and professions. Those who significantly underperform on the Standards Quiz may be considered for selection of a follow-up quality assurance assessment in 2027.

      Guided Self-Report

      Inventory of Performance 

      The Inventory of Performance is a guided activity where licensees consider professional, practice, and personal factors that may impact performance as a health professional.

      • After completing an inventory of questions, licensees will receive a personalized report based on their answers, highlighting which factors can be changed. Licensees also receive ideas on how factors can be managed or addressed through awareness and by amplifying protective factors.
      • This inventory is not scored.
      • Answers and the personalized report are strictly confidential and for licensees’ personal use. Only aggregated and blinded information is available to CHCPBC for program monitoring purposes.

      Inventory of Learning 

      The Inventory of Learning is a guided activity where licensees report on the factors influencing their continuing professional development choices over the past year, and their desired outcomes.

      • Specific reporting on past education activities will not be required.
      • Licensees will receive a personalized feedback report upon completion. It will support licensees to engage in continuing professional development that improves patient outcomes and supports their learning and performance.
      • This inventory is not scored.

      2. Practice Support & Resources  

      • No PQPP requirements involved. Optional only.
      • Currently available, and year-round, for all CHCPBC licensees. 

        Licensees can contact CHCPBC’s profession-specific Practice Advisors for confidential advice related to the new harmonized Ethics and Practice Standards and other topics to support decision-making in practice.  

        For more detail, including how to best contact a Practice Advisor, visit the Practice Support page. 

        3. Quality Assurance Assessments 

        • For selected CHCPBC licensees only.
        • Will be virtual for the majority of licensees who are selected, conducted by a Quality Assurance Assessor from the same profession.

        An assessment will occur for only a portion of licensees who may require additional supports. It will be a semi-structured interview where the assessor and the licensee discuss how the same standards covered in the CPD Annual Touchpoints can be applied by the licensee to their practice. It is estimated that the assessment will take approximately one hour. If gaps are identified as a result, education and support will be provided. 

        Design of the QA Assessment tools are still underway, including the determination of selection criteria. Development and pilot testing of the QA Assessment will occur in the fall of 2026, for a spring 2027 implementation. More detail on this portion of the program will be updated as it becomes available.
