The purpose of the ACE is to help clinicians systematically evaluate capacity when a patient is facing a medical decision. 3. Before assessing capacity, identify and address any barriers to communication (e.g. hearing impairment, visual impairment, language barrier, dysphasia, dysarthria).
Paul Appelbaum outlines four criteria that patients must meet to be deemed to have capacity [1, 2, 3]. These four criteria are 1) communicating a choice, 2) understanding the relevant information, 3) appreciating the situation and its consequences, and 4) reasoning about treatment options.
