ACE Stats

 
 

Q: What are the ACE Stats?

ACE stands for ACORN Certificate of Effectiveness.

The ACE Statistics page in the toolkit can be useful in that it creates a specific threshold of effectiveness that clinicians should strive to meet. When a clinician has met the requirements describes below, an “x” appears next to their name on the ACE Stats page, and can be issued a ACE Certificate.

Q: What is an ACE Certificate?

An ACE certificate is an acknowledgement that you are an effective therapist by ACORN standards (i.e. you have gathered enough data and are getting enough improvement in your cases).

Q: How much data/improvement is enough?

You must have:

  • At least 15 cases in the clinical range

  • At least 2 assessments on 50% of your cases

  • A Severity Adjusted Effect Size (Hierarchical Linear Model) above .5 with 90% confidence interval

Q: How do I use the ACE Statistics table?
The ACE Stats table provides a case count and form count for each clinician, as well as the simple mean Severity Adjusted Effect Size (SAES) (as displayed in the clinicians Toolkit as their Improvement Score) and SAES (Hierarchical Linear Model).
