Emergency Decisions Unit by local agreement.
Contact Colin our Head of Service for details [log in to unmask]

Subject: Obs wards / CDU Costs
I'm trying to find out if something I heard a while ago is actually
true.
We have a protocolised CDU / observation ward which is in the process of
expanding and it seems strange that we can have a patient in the ward
for around 2 to 4 hours and the PCT get charged the full days admission
rate on the tarriff.
Has anyone got a local agrement with their PCT to charge a reduced rate
for stays on the CDU as opposed to a full admission rate? Is this an
urban myth?
Any help gratefully received.
