Joint Commission's Speak Up Program

The Joint Commission recommends (if not requires) that health care facilities hand out "Speak Up" brochures.  These brochures encourage active participation in one's own care.  Parkland does not give these out.  In fact, based on my own personal experience, the doctors, residents, and some nurses resent being questioned about anything pertaining to patient care.
