If the caregiver completes the tool independently, the patient will be excluded from the study. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with altered mental status and those with an acute, emergent illness and hemodynamic instability (Examples: status epileptics, sepsis, and cardiac arrest) 2. Employees of the institution with work-related injuries 3. Visitors who are non-cancer patients 4. Patients transferred directly from another hospital 5. Patients will be excluded after their first enrollment during the study period. (Can only be enrolled once though may have multiple Emergency Center visits during study time frame). 6.
