Sign-On Bonus Available The Clinical Decision unit is a unit that provides evaluation and care of patients whose medical needs can most often be met within a 24-hour time frame. The CDU provides a monitored environment where the patient is not admitted, but needs specific medical care (diagnostic testing, assessment of symptoms, therapy, etc.) that can't be provided in the home setting. The patient remains in the CDU until a definitive diagnosis is made and the patient is either admitted or the condition has resolved and the patient is discharged. The CDU is most often utilized as an extension of the ED, allowing patients to move to a more appropriate environment rather than remain in the ED while further testing or observation occurs.
