■Yao Municipal Hospital: public <strong>and</strong> private sectors shared the dem<strong>and</strong> risk<br />

The Yao Municipal Hospital adopted a scheme that shared the variable dem<strong>and</strong> risk between the<br />

city <strong>and</strong> a private operator, whose service fee was composed of a "fixed payment" (fixed amount to<br />

be paid over the project period) <strong>and</strong> a “dem<strong>and</strong> fluctuation payment" (variable amount taking into<br />

account the number of actual dem<strong>and</strong>) (see Figure 11). This scheme allowed <strong>for</strong> a stabilization of<br />

the financial condition of the private sector because even if the number of patients decreased, the<br />

minimum fixed costs could be paid, which corresponded to the labor costs that were occurring at all<br />

times. Also, it created an incentive <strong>for</strong> the private operator to improve the operations due to the<br />

variable payment reflecting the dem<strong>and</strong> fluctuation.<br />
