health systems
Care delivery organizations
Health systems are the interconnected organizations, institutions, and resources that deliver medical care to populations—hospitals, clinics, insurers, public health agencies, and the professionals who staff them.
The term often implies coordinated infrastructure: The pandemic exposed weaknesses in health systems worldwide.
A health system may refer to a single integrated network of providers or to an entire country's approach to healthcare delivery and financing.
