Welcome back to another episode of Capacity Conversations! Today, we are fortunate to be joined again by the Capacity Clinic’s medical director, Dr. Richard Shulman and Capacity Clinic advisory board member, Dr. Arlin Pachet.
In this episode, we’ll be diving into the role and value of retrospective capacity assessments while also detailing the difference between retrospective and contemporaneous evaluations, both of which we provide at the Capacity Clinic. Keep listening to learn more about what exactly a retrospective assessment is and how, when, and why it may come into play.
Capacity Conversations: Your Thoughts or Mine is a podcast about capacity and decision-making in Canada, presented by the Capacity Clinic. Each day, Canadian professionals face growing numbers of vulnerable adults or their substitute decision makers, stressing historical practices for assuring capacity when important decisions are being made. The pandemic has given us a glimpse of the future where the numbers of elderly clients, their mobility considerations, and the need for professional diligence in determining capacity are all growing. Issues requiring legal and clinical support arise frequently, and that’s where we come in. At Capacity Clinic, our mission is to improve supported decision-making and capacity evaluation. We do this by creating Canadian expertise and intellectual property, designing and developing educational programming, and supplying individual consultations from leading experts. In this podcast, we’ll dive into all aspects of capacity and decision-making so that you know what to do if you’re working with, know, or are someone in need of a capacity evaluation.
