Summary

The goal of this study is to determine the Usability and Acceptability of a personalized online decision support tool for patients, families, and providers considering long-term breathing support options for patients who cannot breathe by themselves. The tool is called TRACH-Support. The key questions are:

1. Is TRACH-Support usable and acceptable to people who make decisions for patients on breathing machines.
2. Is TRACH-Support usable, acceptable, appropriate, and feasible for medical providers, nurses, and respiratory therapists who care for patients on breathing machines.

In this study, family members of patients on a breathing machine and members of the medical team will review the tool and fill out an online survey describing their thoughts about the tool. A subgroup of individuals who fill out the survey will also be asked to participate in qualitative interviews about their experience with the tool.
