The facility is expected to open in Spring 2021. The CDU is part of the Department of Emergency Medicine. The unit: The Geisinger CDU is an outpatient observation unit specifically designed to provide a value-based practice model for ED patients who need additional observational services. CDU patients are medically stable and are expected to be discharged within 24-36 hours. The practice: The CDU physician is responsible for the care and disposition of patients in the unit. The goal is to disposition all patients who were admitted the previous day.

Thus, the CDU and EM providers function as a team to manage the CDU patients. To accomplish this effectively, the unit is located contiguous to the ED.
