Abstract
The current chapter introduces Healthy Healthcare, an integrated perspective involving quality of care, workers' wellbeing, and organisation of healthcare services, for a system-based understanding of healthcare practice. Healthy Healthcare is based on three main conditions, herein termed pillars, of healthcare delivery: (a) quality of care; (b) workers' wellbeing; and (c) organisation of healthcare. This perspective is important to develop research approaches and to incorporate evidence-based practice and knowledge into Healthy Healthcare. The current volume provides perspectives on Healthy Healthcare based on research from different disciplines and different countries. This chapter introduces Healthy Healthcare with a brief presentation of the modern context of healthcare practice and a description and explanation of the system. It concludes with a brief outline of the volume's contents.
