54Chapter 2 – Excellence in Health Profession Regulation: Raising the Bar in Ontarioadvisory and monitoring agency. The new agency will help keep Ontario’sregulatory system adaptable to changes unfolding in the practiceenvironment. The proposals will also strengthen the core principles ofpatient-centred care, patient safety and the public interest as thefoundation of Ontario’s regulatory system.HPRAC is convinced that the changes it is proposing to the healthprofession regulatory framework are necessary and fundamental toachieving successful reform and integration within the broader health caresystem. Continued progress in health care depends on maximizing thecontribution of all health professionals, improving the way they worktogether, and facilitating their adoption of new knowledge and newtechnologies. Excellence in health profession regulation will lead toexcellence in health care.In Chapter three of this report, HPRAC outlines its proposals for a newframework and process for approval of designated drug regulations under thehealth professions Acts. Those recommendations integrate with the onesoutlined in this chapter for a new agency, CHPRE, and for a new enablingregulatory framework for health colleges in Ontario. Implementationproposals are presented in Chapter four of this report.HPRAC Critical Links January 2009

HPRAC also considered requests foraccess or changes to the controlled act of administering a substance byinjection or inhalation.DefinitionsTo assist in HPRAC’s review, the following working definitions wereadopted:“Drug”, “Prescriber” and “Prescription” are as defined in theDrug and Pharmacies Regulation Act.1Letter from Hon.
