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

This campaign is the second to be introduced in the Joint Commission’s refreshed Speak Up program that debuted last year.
