Why not?
Flat rate mechanics have a book that says repair X takes Y many hours. If it takes the mechanic less, the shop benefits. If it takes more, the shop loses. But in the end, only Y many hours are billed.
Why can't it work similar for hospitals?

That's not a whole lot different than going to the mechanic and telling them to change the spark plugs or flush the transmission.
