Product Description
The Joint Commission’s Speak Up™ patient safety program launched in March 2002. By 2017, the program had reached people in more than 70 countries and received numerous awards. For 2018, the Speak Up™ program was refreshed and relaunched in May to be more valuable and useful. The goal of Speak Up™ is to help patients and their advocates become active in their care.
Beginning in 2018, all new Speak Up™ campaigns will be comprised of four components:
-
Infographic in three sizes: 8.5x11; 11x17; 24x36
-
Animated video.
-
Podcast featuring an expert on the topic.
-
User’s guide on how and to whom organizations can distribute materials.
For health care organizations and providers, the benefits of using Speak Up™ include:
-
Having a ready-made resource to give to patients and to help communicate about their care.
-
Being able to share the materials with all patients, regardless of age or reading ability, since the infographics are easy-to-read, and animated videos are available as well.
