In recent years, there has been increased emphasis on the resilience of healthcare systems, particularly in light of the global COVID-19 pandemic. This article seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of resilience in healthcare systems when faced with various disruptions. An exhaustive review of the existing literature is conducted to clarify how resilience is defined within healthcare systems and the variety of methods used to assess it, integrating both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Furthermore, the article introduces a novel perspective by categorizing resilience into three result-oriented disaster types. The review also critically examines several challenges and outlines future directions, aiming to promote more unbiased, unified, and practical approaches in the field of resilient healthcare systems
