Abstract
The rise in the demand to improve healthcare (HC) service quality led research to focus on cost effective initiatives like the social networks facilitated by the social internet of things (SIoT). Social networks and SIoT support HC professionals, physicians, the case of this study, for better decision-making to reduce the highly reported diagnostic errors. This research in progress critiqued current literature to propose the need to assess the effect of physicians’ leadership on their decision making (DM) style, mediating by their social capital (SC). Such two relations are proposed in a viable framework worthy of future empirical assessment.
