Abstract: Introduction: Transformational leadership has also become a well-accepted means to improve quality of care in practice. What it means is that leaders need to lead with motivation and inspiration to embrace the changing landscape of the business world and instill this urge to achieve higher standards. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of transformational leadership on healthcare quality improvement. Methods: A systematic literature review was performed, and articles were chosen from different electronic databases. Inclusion criteria had been studies that focused on transformational leadership and healthcare quality improvement. Fifteen articles were included in the analysis. Results: Overall the results indicated positive effects of transformational leadership regarding healthcare quality improvement across studies in hospitals, long-term care, and community health settings. The findings showed components of transformational leadership, like individualized consideration, inspirational motivation, and intellectual stimulation, were integral to facilitate the quality improvement initiative. They create an environment for healthcare teams to learn and collaborate, leading to improved patient outcomes and satisfaction. Conclusions: Caution about potential hidden variable persistency in research applications of this type should be applied. When organizations commit to transformational leadership, their healthcare environment can sustain continuous improvement. There is a need for additional study to determine how transformational leadership affects healthcare quality specifically and what solutions can be developed to determine its best application.
