Abstract: Introduction:The study explored innovative health leadership models aimed at enhancing the quality of life in post-acute care settings. It addressed the growing need for effective leadership strategies to improve patient outcomes and service delivery. Methods:The researcher employed a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews with healthcare professionals in various post-acute care facilities. The study analyzed data from 150 participants to evaluate the impact of different leadership models on care quality and staff satisfaction. Leadership models considered included transformational, transactional, and servant leadership. Results:The findings indicated that transformational leadership models significantly improved the quality of life for patients in post-acute care settings. Facilities that implemented this model reported higher patient satisfaction scores and better overall health outcomes compared to those using transactional and servant leadership models. Staff in transformational leadership settings also reported higher job satisfaction and lower burnout rates. Conclusions:The study concluded that transformational leadership is the most effective model for post-acute care settings, as it fosters a positive environment for both patients and staff. By prioritizing empathy, communication, and empowerment, transformational leaders can enhance patient care and improve job satisfaction among healthcare workers. The research recommended the adoption of transformational leadership training programs to cultivate these skills in current and future healthcare leaders, ultimately advancing the quality of life in post-acute care environments.
