Introduction: The aim of the study was to investigate innovative health leadership models focusing on the improvement of the quality of life in post-acute care settings. It answered the increasing demand for successful leadership policies towards enhanced patient outcomes and service delivery.
Methods: This researcher used a mixed-methods approach, performing quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews with healthcare professionals at multiple post-acute care facilities. The study reviewed data from 150 participants to assess the influence of individual leadership models on care quality and staff morale. These leadership models could include transformational, transactional, servant or a mixture of all.
Results: The results showed that patient quality of life in post-acute care settings was significantly enhanced by transformational leadership models. Facilities that implemented this model reported higher patient satisfaction scores and better overall health outcomes than those using transactional and servant leadership models. Staff reported higher job satisfaction and lower burnout rates in transformational leadership settings.
Conclusions: Despite which transformational model was used, the study determined that transformational leadership was the best model for post-acute care settings because both patients and staff flourished in this environment. “Transformational Leadership in Healthcare: A 360-Degree Approach” offers a thorough overview of how focusing on empathy, communication, and empowerment can improve patient care and increase job satisfaction among health care workers. In fact, the study called for adoption of transformational leadership training programs that would use the skills to develop existing and future healthcare leaders and, subsequently, enhance quality of life in post-acute-care settings.
