Today, The Joint Commission is launching a new Speak Up <http://www.jointcommission.org/PatientSafety/SpeakUp/>  campaign to help parents make a difference in their child’s care by asking the right questions and being actively involved, whether it’s at the doctor’s office, in the hospital, or even at home.

Topics include:

• Symptoms that mean you need to take your child to the doctor or hospital immediately
• Preparing for your child’s visit to the doctor’s office
• What you should ask the doctor
• Taking medicine safely
• Having a medical or laboratory test
• Going to the hospital
• Having a safe operation
