Right-Touch Regulation
With concerns about COVID-19 and the collateral damage on the health care system plaguing us from start to finish , 2021 was a year as challenging they come .
Like the year previous , 2021 demanded an extraordinary agility in responding to issues of public protection . Fortunately , the Right-Touch Regulation approach we adopted in 2019 positioned the College well to serve patients , the public and the profession in such tumultuous times .
Right-Touch Regulation is about applying the right regulatory tools to manage risk . It is a commitment to striking the right balance – not too much , and not too little – and it informs and improves every aspect of College regulation . In embracing the principles of the Right-Touch Regulation framework , we continue to realize new ways to improve the timeliness , efficiency and effectiveness of all our work .
In evaluating risk and being proportionate and outcomefocused in our decision-making , we are nimble and targeted in our approach to issues of public safety . Through Right- Touch Regulation , we are better positioned to anticipate and respond to issues of public protection .
