Resilience in healthcare focuses on enabling individuals and teams to respond to emergent problems without compromising safety. This review-of-reviews examines the definitions of resilience across the hierarchical levels of healthcare (e.g., individual, team, organizational, community). The authors describe an interdisciplinary, cross-sectoral, multi-level conceptual framework for healthcare resilience which includes resilience activities before, during, after, and across events.
