**Department Details**

The Clinical Decision Unit (CDU) is a short-term care area designed for patients who require

medical evaluation and treatment that can typically be completed within 24 hours. It provides a

monitored setting for patients who are not admitted but still need diagnostic testing, symptom

assessment, or therapy that can't be done at home. Patients remain in the CDU until a diagnosis

is made and they are either discharged or admitted for further care. The unit serves as an

extension of the Emergency Department, offering a more appropriate space for continued

observation and care.
