Environmental turbulence occurs when changes in supply and demand are hard to predict. This heightens uncertainty when key resources are not controlled by the organization (Dess & Beard, 1984). Hospitals that are highly dependent on revenues from Medicare and Medicaid may experience great uncertainty, especially when major public sector efforts to constrain spending occur, such as the BBA. When hospitals encounter a high level of uncertainty stemming from higher
financial instability, they have to adjust or eliminate unnecessary costs of operation to gain efficiency (Rosko,
1999). On the other hand, uncertain payment may cause hospitals to reduce their uncompensated care provision because they have fewer resources to respond to unmet community needs (Davidoff et al., 2000; Frank & Salkever, 1991).
