Person-centered care is the gold standard in rehabilitation medicine. Teamwork is core to its practice and effective leadership is a crucial component. Models and theories of leadership have evolved since time immemorial, but it remains unclear if the practice and approach of leaders of person-centered care in rehabilitation medicine practice is grounded in any theoretical model of best practice. The systems thinking approach leads a rehabilitation practitioner to critically appraise the multilevel dimensions of leadership. At a macro level, policies partake the inevitable role of promoting, enhancing, and enforcement of adequate effective leadership and governance of healthcare, the rehabilitation component included. The in-between mesolevel contextualizes multi-disciplinary, inter-disciplinary, and trans-disciplinary approaches into pragmatic means depending on the resources at hand. Microlevel daily practice is often blurred and achieving desired goals through good leadership is an under-researched and possibly neglected area.
The primary goal of this Research Topic is to bring together a collection of papers that focus on leadership and teamwork in rehabilitation medicine to shed light on approaches and key factors affecting outcomes of person-centered care and the impact on rehabilitative care in general. Our main goals are 1) Identification of effective leadership models in the teamwork of person-centered care that can inform innovative practices in rehabilitation, 2) Advocate for real world interest in providing studies and documents developing a critical mass of data to enhance person-centered care, 3) Promote evidence-based information and education on effective leadership in person-centered teamwork rehabilitation practice.
We welcome the submission of manuscripts including, but not limited to, the following topics: Special focus will be given (but is not restricted) to:
• Historical perspectives of leadership in rehabilitation practice
• Models of leadership in rehabilitation teamwork and their attributes
• Leadership experience in person-centered care rehabilitation practice
• Person-centered care as a basis of modeling leadership role in healthcare and or rehabilitation practice
• Theoretical basis and thesis generated by the application of the various healthcare, medical, social anthropological, and other models specific to rehabilitation practice
• Theoretical models of leadership in rehabilitation medicine
• Theoretical models of teamwork in rehabilitation practice
