The aim of this law is to provide the population with needs-based care at socially acceptable care rates. The safeguarding of non-profit and private hospitals must be guaranteed. In this sense, economic security refers to the assumption of investment costs by way of public funding, as well as the receipt of performance-related proceeds from care rates, remuneration for pre- and post-inpatient treatment and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/reimbursement.institute\/glossar\/aop-ambulantes-operieren-im-krankenhaus\/\">outpatient surgery<\/a>. This form of financing is called\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/reimbursement.institute\/glossar\/duale-finanzierung\/\">the dual financing model<\/a>.
