Resilience in healthcare is more relevant than ever. Global health crises, increasing service complexity, resource constraints, shortages of qualified professionals, and rapid technological development all demand continuous adaptation from stakeholders at every level of the healthcare system. Amid these challenges, ensuring high-quality care requires a deeper understanding of how systems, teams, and individuals respond and adapt.

This book explores resilience as a multilevel phenomenon and positions adaptive capacity as the cornerstone of care quality. It expands the perspective of resilience beyond frontline staff to include patients and families, managers, teams, organizations, and policymakers as stakeholders in maintaining and improving healthcare quality. With its findings from the Resilience in Healthcare research program (RiH, 2018–2024), a large-scale international study, this book addresses knowledge gaps and real-world challenges. It presents a view of what enables resilient performance across healthcare systems and settings, from regulatory bodies and policy institutions to hospitals, primary care, nursing homes, and home care services. It provides the reader with examples, frameworks, and lessons learned that support cross-sector learning and practical implementation.

Translating Resilience into Healthcare Practice is an essential read for researchers, educators, and professionals working in healthcare quality and safety, resilience engineering, human factors, medicine, nursing, and social care.
