Changing criteria for hospital acquisitions.
This article presents models that explain differences between hospitals that were and were not acquired over a five-year period. Analyses show that there was not an overall model applicable to all years. Rather, out of a general set of environmental and organizational variables, several models were found necessary for different time periods. The need for multiple models reflects the changing dynamics of the environment that continuously confound health care institutions.
