Area of Science:

Nursing home quality improvement
Complex adaptive systems theory
Organizational performance in healthcare

Background:

Nursing home quality of care and life remain significant concerns.
Viewing nursing homes as complex adaptive systems offers new insights into organizational performance.

Purpose of the Study:

To analyze working conditions in high- and low-performing nursing homes.
To apply complexity science theory to understand nursing home dynamics.

Main Methods:

Qualitative case study of four nursing homes (two high-performing, two low-performing).
Data collection included over 100 hours of observation, 70 interviews, informal discussions, and document review.

Main Results:

High-performing homes exhibited congruent leadership, fostering staff connectivity, information flow, and cognitive diversity.
Low-performing homes showed disharmonious leadership, eroding trust, hindering communication, and causing role isolation.

Conclusions:

Mission- and values-based leadership is crucial for improving nursing home care.
Relationship-centered leadership, embracing co-management, is more effective than rigid, command-and-control approaches.
Recommendations include developing a strong mission, flexible rules, and empowering lateral decision-making.
