Nowadays, in the region on Catalonia, there is an opportunity to reform social and health care model in the medium term care hospitals in order to protect and improve the quality of care and its sustainability. Due to financial crisis and limited resources in providing health care attention, nurse managers can focus to analyze their particular government practices in the organizations. So, nurse managers can explore theory of governability in their centre: guarantee transparency, accountability, place in a structure of acute hospitals, and role respecting stakeholders interests. Furthermore, all these principles exposed can be explored, measured and compared their results with level of nursing quality care in the medium term care hospitals in Catalonia.
