A Functional or Cognitive Capacity Evaluation
An FCE is a comprehensive, evidence-based assessment used to assess an individual’s current physical ability to perform work duties or activities. This assessment determines what job tasks an individual can perform in order to establish whether they can do their job safely, return to their workplace, or even find new employment.
A CCE is similar to a FCE, but it focuses on measuring cognitive abilities and an individual’s capacity for dealing with cognitive demands. This evaluation employs measurable, objective testing methods in order to ascertain an accurate representation of a person’s cognitive abilities. This can include measuring someone’s attention span, planning, memory, problem-solving, and executive function.
