Abstract
One of the main drivers for change towards delivering value-based healthcare is to improve clinical and managerial culture and engagement within organisations. The relationships between clinicians and managers in an organisation are often considered to be either an enabler or disabler towards successful engagement to develop strategies towards better value healthcare. Successful engagement is dependent on effective and transformational leadership that can impact on organisational value in healthcare. The aim of this research was to explore the relationships, behaviours and perceptions between managers and clinicians towards value-based healthcare in the National Health Service in the United Kingdom. A qualitative research methodology of semi-structured in-depth interviewing on a sample consisting of hospital consultants, senior managers and board executives from a diverse group were conducted. A thematic analysis was used to analyse the data using a systematic approach. The study findings identified areas of potential barriers to engagement for clinicians and managers which were related to regulatory burden, financial challenges and workforce shortages. Key recommendations on what will be required to improve clinicians and managers engagement and the leadership approaches towards improving value-based healthcare are discussed.
期刊介绍:
Health Services Management Research (HSMR) is an authoritative international peer-reviewed journal which publishes theoretically and empirically rigorous research on questions of enduring interest to health-care organizations and systems throughout the world. Examining the real issues confronting health services management, it provides an independent view and cutting edge evidence-based research to guide policy-making and management decision-making. HSMR aims to be a forum serving an international community of academics and researchers on the one hand and healthcare managers, executives, policymakers and clinicians and all health professionals on the other. HSMR wants to make a substantial contribution to both research and managerial practice, with particular emphasis placed on publishing studies which offer actionable findings and on promoting knowledge mobilisation toward theoretical advances.
