Background: The healthcare system is under tremendous pressure. One possible solution towards relieving some of this pressure is to use Positive Health, which takes ‘health’ as a starting point, rather than ‘illness’. Positive Health provides opportunities for stimulating integrated care. Methods: Three cases in the Netherlands are studied in this paper. Their way of working with Positive Health is investigated through semi-structured and narrative interviews, using realist-evaluation and thematic analyses. Results: Seven ‘working elements’ are identified that enhance the chances of successfully implementing Positive Health in practice (part 1). The interviews show that healthcare professionals have noticed that people adopt a healthier lifestyle and gain a greater degree of control over their own health. This boosts job satisfaction for healthcare professionals too. The organisations and professionals involved are enthusiastic about working with Positive Health, but still experience barriers (part 2). Conclusions: The results of this study imply that implementing Positive Health in practice can facilitate collaboration between organisations and professionals from different disciplines, such as healthcare, welfare, and municipal health services. Operating from the perspective of a shared goal, professionals from different disciplines will find it easier to jointly organise activities to foster citizens’ health. Additionally, more attention is paid to non-medical problems affecting people’s well-being, such as loneliness or financial problems.
