This won't be significantly difficult, just going to be annoying to do. The reason you are getting "System.collections.hashtable" is because is unable to display everything in that property in a single format like that, there is way to much information. You will have to create another object and put whatever information you want in there.

This prob won't work exactly like you want, but with some tweaking it should get you there.

$ServerResult = Test-ADFSServerHealth
$Object = New-PSObject -Property @{
    'Name' = $ServerResult.name
    'Result' = $ServerResult.Result
    'Detail' = $ServerResult.Detail
    'Output' = ($ServerResult.Output | out-string -stream)
    'ExceptionMessage' = $ServerResult.ExceptionMessage

    }
