Coordinating case management
FCs described that they were unprepared and overwhelmed by financial costs. These related to the cost of equipment and supplies. Although efforts were made to connect and organize respiratory vendors with FCs prior to discharge, FCs felt that they did not have enough information or expertise with managing this aspect of care. They reported the need for experiential advice from other FCs who could help guide them in determining how to get things set up at home (see Appendix 7).
