A qualitative interview study in the English National Health Service revealed that clinical leaders can contribute to the governance and leadership of integrated care systems by providing analytical insights, representing the views of clinicians, translating and communicating integration strategies, and engaging in relational work. These contributions are based on their clinical expertise, professional networks, reputation, and formal authority, and vary across different levels of system governance and stages of change.
BackgroundIntegrated care systems present enduring governance challenges associated with fostering interorganisational collaboration. AimTo understand how clinical leaders can make a distinct contribution to the governance and system leadership of integrated care systems. MethodsA qualitative interview study carried out between 2018 and 2019 with 24 clinical leaders, and a further 47 non-clinical leaders, involved in the governance of three Sustainability and Transformation Partnership in the English National Health Service. ResultsClinical leaders were found to make four distinct contributions: (1) making analytical insights into integration strategies that ensured their relevance and quality to clinical communities; (2) representing the views of clinicians in system decision-making thereby enhancing the legitimacy of change; (3) translation and communication activities to articulate integration strategies in favourable ways and ensure clinical engagement; and (4) relational work in the form of brokering and building connections and mediating conflict between multiple stakeholders. These activities varied across the levels of system governance and at different stages in the processes of change. ConclusionsClinical leaders can make a distinct contribution to the governance and leadership of integrated care systems based on their clinical expertise, membership professional networks, reputation and formal authority.
