Leadership development practices and patient satisfaction: An exploratory study of select U.S. Academic medical centers

Interest has been growing among academic medical centers (AMCs) in organization-wide strategies that may improve patient satisfaction. Although leadership development programs have been cited as a potentially useful approach, thus far almost all evidence has come from single-organization case studie...
