Abstract
How do nurse managers make decisions about quality issues on their units? We asked 10 nurse managers in 3 Arizona hospitals to describe how they resolved a recent quality issue.

Decision support tools should help managers think more systemically and efficiently, while encouraging consideration of more alternatives to reach targeted goals.
