Top 10 Leaders In Hospital - 2021

Leadership has been described as the behavior of an individual when directing the activities of a group toward a shared goal. The key aspects of the leadership role involve influencing group activities and coping with change. A difficulty when considering the leadership of healthcare professionals is that most theories were not developed within a healthcare context but were usually developed for the business setting and then applied to healthcare. Published researches provide little evidence that such leadership initiatives are associated with improvements in patient care or organizational outcomes when applied in the healthcare setting. The importance of effective leaders in hospitals ensuring a high-quality health care system that consistently provides safe and efficient care has been reiterated in the scholarly literature and various government reports. Recent inquiries, commissions, and reports have promoted hospital engagement and leaders in hospitals as critical to achieving and sustaining improvements to care quality and patient safety. Effective hospital leadership is associated with optimal hospital performance. It is allied to a wide range of hospital functions and is an integral component of the health care system. Developing hospital leadership skills among hospital nurses and other health professionals is of critical importance. The roles of hospital leaders were identified as a supporter, change manager, advocate, project manager, manager, facilitator, and champion.
