    AbstractTo comply with standards of the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, you must provide the same level of care to inpatients held in your ED as they would receive in critical care units. Train the entire staff in telemetry monitoring. Give patients the same level of services from radiology, laboratory, and pharmacy as they would receive upstairs. Have ED nurse work occasional shifts in critical care units.
