The Altarum Consumer Engagement (ACE) Measure™ is a 21-item measure that provides a valid alternative to other patient engagement measures. |
The ACE Measure™ consists of four scales: |
Commitment: confidence and ability to maintain a healthy lifestyle and manage one’s health. |
Ownership: perceived role in and responsibility for one’s health. |
Informed Choice: patterns of seeking and using information about health and healthcare. |
Navigation: confidence and ability to ask about and participate in treatment decisions. |
The scales are predictive of important outcomes, including patient health, self-reported medication adherence, and use of online decision tools. |
