Global health challenges and local environmental disasters have prompted an increase of research into the resilience of healthcare systems and organizations. This analysis identified 80 studies and 30 reviews of healthcare resilience from 2004 through June 2021. Unsurprisingly, COVID-19 dominated the research from 2020-2021. Most publications focused on health systems or hospitals, with substantially less attention shown to community-based or primary care.
