Summary

This study tests a new digital care pathway called DECIDE-T for children who need a tracheostomy (a breathing tube in the neck). The pathway includes online resources, training for families, and telehealth support to help kids move from hospital to home. Researchers will track whether it reduces hospital stays, costs, and caregiver burnout. About 180 children in Alberta will take part.
