Capacity assessment is a process used in healthcare and legal
contexts to evaluate an individual's ability to make informed decisions about
their own care, finances, or legal matters. It involves assessing the person's
understanding of relevant information, their ability to appreciate the
consequences of their decisions, their reasoning abilities, and their ability
to communicate their choices. Capacity assessments are typically conducted by
healthcare professionals, psychologists, or legal experts, depending on the
specific context. These assessments are crucial in situations where individuals
may be deemed unable to make decisions for themselves due to cognitive impairment,
mental illness, or other factors. The results of capacity assessments can
inform decisions about whether the individual requires assistance or
intervention to protect their interests, such as appointing a guardian or
providing support in making decisions about medical treatment or financial
matters.
