Everyone has a role in health care safety. You, as the patient, can also play a vital role in making your care safe by becoming an active, involved and informed member of your health care team.
Below you will find an excerpt from our brochure describing the "Speak Up" program, which is sponsored by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations. This initiative provides simple advice on how you, as the patient, can make your care a positive experience.
After all, research shows that patients who take part in decisions about their health care are more likely to have better outcomes.

Use a hospital, clinic, surgery center, or other type of health care organization that has undergone a rigorous on-site evaluation against established, state-of-the-art quality and safety standards, such as that provided by the Joint Commission.
