Explanation:
The DECIDE model is the acronym of 6 particular activities needed in the decision-making process: (1) D = define the problem----"Is this a healthy breakfast choice?", (2) E = establish the criteria -----"What is a good breakfast? What nutrients do I need?", (3) C = consider all the alternatives "Other options I have?", (4) I = identify the best alternative(s), (5) D = develop and implement a plan of action, and (6) E = evaluate and monitor the solution and feedback when necessary. The DECIDE model is intended as a resource for health care managers when applying the crucial components of decision making, and it enables one to improve their decision-making skills, which leads to more effective decisions.
