Symptom screening with Targeted Early Palliative care (STEP)
The experimental arm receives routine symptom screening at every outpatient visit; if symptoms are above a certain threshold, then a triggered email is sent to a triage nurse, who calls the patient to offer early referral to and follow-up by a symptom control and palliative care team.
