Abstract
This paper explores the nature and development of health care organizations in terms of a model of organizational healthiness. The model places particular emphasis on the psychosocial subsystems which describe the subjective organization. These represent the perceived internal functioning of the organization in terms of task completion, problem solving and staff development. The implications of such a model for the well-being of health care staff and for the evaluation of service delivery are discussed.Keywords
