Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

IMPROVED

The electronic symptom monitoring intervention, "Improving Management of Patient-Reported Outcomes Via Electronic Data (IMPROVED)," consists of patients self-reporting their symptoms each day using a tablet computer. At morning rounds each day, the clinical team will view reports detailing their patients' symptom burden.

OTHER

Usual Care

Participants receiving usual care will also self-report their symptoms each day using tablet computers. However, these patients' clinicians will not receive their symptom reports. Patients randomized to usual care will report their symptoms to their clinicians as they usually would, at their own discretion.
