Leadership and Relevance to Health Management Workforce Development: A Scoping Review

Quality leadership is considered a critical component of organisational success. The way in which leadership is implemented plays a significant role in the implementation of quality management (Friman, 2024). Leadership is described as the ability to influence others towards a common goal. Healthcare organizations recognize the importance of leadership. Healthcare leadership frameworks are being adopted more widely in countries such as the UK, USA, Canada, and Australia to guide the development of leadership in healthcare organizations and ensure high-quality care for all (Lyons, 2020). The development of healthcare managers' leadership skills is critical to implementing and sustaining practice innovation, as well as providing high-quality patient- or client-related healthcare within an increasingly complex healthcare system (Chen, 2021). In order to improve healthcare service delivery, healthcare managers must adopt effective leadership strategies (De Brun, 2019; Hu, 2022).

高质量领导力被视为组织成功的核心要素。领导力的实施方式对质量管理的落地有着至关重要的影响（Friman, 2024）。领导力被定义为影响他人朝着共同目标奋进的能力。医疗保健机构已然意识到领导力的重要性。诸如英国、美国、加拿大与澳大利亚等国家正愈发广泛地采用医疗领导力框架，以指导医疗保健机构的领导力建设，并确保为全体民众提供高质量的医疗服务（Lyons, 2020）。在日益复杂的医疗保健体系中，医疗管理者的领导力技能培养，对于推行并维系实践创新，以及为患者或服务对象提供高质量的医疗服务而言至关重要（Chen, 2021）。为优化医疗服务供给，医疗管理者必须采用行之有效的领导力策略（De Brun, 2019; Hu, 2022）。
