As an extension to its Speak Up campaign, Joint Commission’s new Know Your Rights campaign further encourages patients and families to educate themselves. The more patients know the better their care and recovery time can be. Several brochures are available for use, and some topics include four things patients can do to prevent infections, what patients can do to prevent medication mistakes, how they can help avoid mistakes in their surgery, and planning follow-up care. The best part is that “there are NO copyright or reprinting permissions required for the Speak Up materials or copy.” The Joint Commission only asks that they be credited as the source of information. Good stuff.
