Morphology
The meaning 'organization and provision of health care services' is directly compositional from 'healthcare' (medical services) + 'delivery' (the act of providing or conveying something), so a learner who knows both words can infer it as the delivery/provision of healthcare. This is a common noun+noun compounding pattern and has clear parallels in many languages, so it is likely understandable to a B1 learner despite being somewhat technical.
Etymology
Healthcare delivery uses the everyday image of a delivery person bringing a package to your door: imagine medical help and care being brought to people where they live or need it. That's why the phrase means 'how health services are organized and given to people or communities'.
