Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The goal of this single center prospective cross-sectional study is to identify the facilitators and barriers in the course of the disease that starts when symptoms first arise until patients with solid and hematologic malignancies arrive in the emergency department (ED). The main question it aims to answer are: Is there a potential relation between the lag-time and the ED length of stay (LOS) and the chance of admission. Participants will be asked to participate in a one-time interview, that focusses on the pre-admission process.
