Speak Up: Prevent the Spread of Infection

See the second in The Joint Commission's series of animated Speak Up™ videos, this one on infection control. Be sure to share this new video with your family and friends! The cast of characters in the infection control video encounter situations where they have to "speak up" in everyday life, such as asking others to wash their hands before preparing food, asking co-workers to stay home when they're sick, and encouraging others to get a flu shot to prevent the spread of illness.

Asking patients and families to "speak up" is a sad admission on the hospital's part that they don't know how to manage quality and patient safety. Don't put the burden on the patient. What other industry does this? Do we have to "speak up" to ask an airline pilot if they've completed their pre-flight checks?? Of course, not. They manage that and take responsibility.
