| Kieny and Dovlo [41] | 2015 | The resilient healthcare system absorbs the impact of emergencies while continuing to provide routine care | 
| Barasa et al. [42] | 2017 | Resilient healthcare systems need to be able to adapt and change to continue to deliver quality services and respond to emerging healthcare needs | 
| Kruk et al. [43] | 2015 | The health system is defined as the ability of healthcare practitioners, institutions, and populations to prepare for and respond effectively to crises. A resilient healthcare system is perceptual and can preidentify potential risk factors affecting people’s health | 
| Blanchet et al. [44] | 2017 | The willfulness of a health system is defined as the ability of a health system to absorb, adapt, change, and maintain control over its original structure and function when exposed to shocks, such as infectious diseases, geological disasters, and armed conflicts | 
| Zhong et al. [45] | 2014 | Hospital disaster resilience is defined as the ability of a hospital to resist, absorb, and respond to disaster shocks, maintain its essential functions (such as prehospital emergency care, hospital emergency, intensive care, disinfection, and isolation), and return to its original state or a new adaptive state | 
| Cimellaro and Pique [46] | 2016 | Hospital disaster resilience is defined as the ability of a hospital system to prepare for a disaster event, absorb the effects of the disaster, recover from the disaster, and keep itself functioning well | 
| World Health Organization [47] | 2015 | A resilient health system is defined as a health system that can predict, respond to, recover, and adapt to climate-related shocks or stress diseases in unstable climates to ensure the health of populations with increasing health, and considers that resilience of health systems equals reduced vulnerability plus increased adaptive capacity | 
| Jacques et al. [48] | 2014 | Disaster resilience of health systems refers to a hospital’s ability to manage and continue to deliver healthcare in the event of an emergency, including the climate recovery phase | 
| Ramandi and Kashani [49] | 2018 | Disaster resilience in health systems is the ability of hospitals to respond, withstand, and absorb the effects of disasters, provide health care services, and restore basic or acceptable levels of services | 
| Berg and Aase [50] | 2019 | Resilience is described as a set of cognitive and behavioral strategies of individuals who enact resilience within an organizational context | 
| Wiig et al. [51] | 2020 | A resilient healthcare system might be expected to consistently deliver high quality care, withstand disruptive events, and continually adapt, learn, and improve. The capacity to adapt to challenges and changes at different system levels, to maintain high quality care | 
| Lyng et al. [52] | 2021 | This study develops a new conceptual account of adaptation and innovation as a basis for resilience in healthcare. Findings emerging from this study indicate that a balance between adaptation and innovation should be sought when seeking resilience in healthcare | 
| Pei et al. [53] | 2022 | This article proposes a resilience assessment framework for the interdependent transportation–healthcare system integrating physical loss and organizational management during postearthquake emergency response. Considering the earthquake-induced injured people, the seismic damage to transportation, and the quantification of the condition of the patients after being treated, a novel metric is proposed to evaluate the response effort during the first 72 h |
