Table 1 Healthcare regulation, resilience, and adaptive capacity

From: Linking resilience and regulation across system levels in healthcare – a multilevel study

Regulation was defined in the multilevel case study, as:

1.a general governmental strategy for behavioral modification and control of risk, including external inspection [26,27,28,29]

2.one specific Norwegian regulatory framework, “the Quality Improvement Regulation” [30]

Different types and strategies of regulation exist, varying with sector and scope. Regulation in this study context is referred to as responsive, performance-based, or process-oriented (see elaboration in Theoretical framework chapter)

Resilience was defined in the multilevel case study, as:

• “The capacity to adapt to challenges and changes at different system levels, to maintain high quality care” [4]
