title: [Current and suitable organization of the Basque Health System. Opinion of the managing level].
abstract: Osasuna Zainduz (caring our health), a planned change tor the public health care services, is being implemented in the Basque Country. A questionnaire discriminant terms passed to all the managers of the Basque Health Service is analysed to assess its actual and optimum organizational culture. We looked at significant differences between means, comparing actual and optimum profiles. All the differences of means were highly significant (P < 0.00001); performance based salaries (6.19) and identification with the organization (5.82) were the highest. New management styles based on information and communication, tolerance with conflicts and risks, as well as support from managers were identified through regression analysis as key success criteria for such our organization.
