Summary
This study expands health system resilience discussions by proposing three new themes: transformation goals, crisis definitions, and reconciling levels/scales. These insights, drawn from Finland
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Health Services Research
- Health Policy
Background:
- The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted critical gaps in understanding health system resilience.
- Existing reviews offer valuable lessons but may benefit from expanded thematic considerations.
Purpose of the Study:
- To propose three additional thematic areas for enhancing conversations on health system resilience.
- To complement existing knowledge by introducing new questions for future research and policy.
Main Methods:
- The study builds upon the review by Saulnier et al. on health system resilience during COVID-19.
- It incorporates research findings on health system resilience in Finland.
- The approach involves posing key questions to guide further inquiry.
Main Results:
- Proposed themes include: (1) defining the goals of transformation, (2) clarifying what constitutes a crisis or shock, and (3) exploring the reconciliation of different levels and scales of resilience.
- These themes aim to enrich the ongoing discourse on health system resilience.
Conclusions:
- The proposed themes offer a framework for deeper analysis of health system resilience.
- Findings from Finland suggest broader applicability to international health systems.
- Further research is needed to explore these themes in diverse contexts.
