Abstract

Introduction: This study focused on innovative health leadership models that can improve the quality of life in post-acute care settings. It answered the need to address leadership strategy in improving patient experience and operational strategy.
Methods: The researcher used a mixed-methods approach, incorporating quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews with healthcare professionals in different types of post-acute care settings. The researchers examined data from 150 participants to assess how various leadership models affected the quality of care and staff satisfaction. These included transformational, transactional, and servant leadership models.
Results: The data showed that transformational leadership models are associated with significantly better quality of life for patients in post-acute care settings. Those facilities using this model had higher patient satisfaction scores and better overall health outcomes than those using transactional and servant leadership models. Staff in transformational leadership environments also reported greater job satisfaction and less burnout.
Conclusions: The study found that transformational leadership is the most effective model for post-acute care settings because it promotes a favorable climate for patients and staff. Transformational leadership elements such as empathy, communication, and empowerment can improve patient care and the job satisfaction of healthcare workers. The study suggested implementing transformational leadership training programs for healthcare leaders who were being nurtured and educated in transformational leadership skills as a desirable format to improve the future and ongoing quality of life in post-acute care settings.
