Editor's Note
The Joint Commission on February 6 announced its new Speak Up campaign that focuses on ways to prevent infection.
The Joint Commission offers free educational resources that include:
- an infographic poster/flyer

- a guide with recommendations on how healthcare organizations can use and provide the materials to patients and their families, caregivers, and advocates.
This campaign is the second to be introduced in the Joint Commission’s refreshed Speak Up program that debuted last year.
