Margin Prediction (Trained Ridge Model)
-5.6%
R²=0.34 | n=4,907 | Grade B | Actual: -6.4%
Ridge regression trained on 4,907 HCRIS hospitals. 90% CI: [-33.9%, 22.7%]. P48 nationally.
| Driver | Value | Effect | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| State Peer Margin | -0.085 | -0.0292 | Lower State Peer Margin decreases predicted margin | |
| Log(Beds) | 5.489 | +0.0259 | Higher Log(Beds) increases predicted margin | |
| Occupancy | 0.956 | +0.0245 | Higher Occupancy increases predicted margin | |
| Revenue/Bed | 1440005.583 | -0.0194 | Lower Revenue/Bed decreases predicted margin | |
| Medicaid % | 0.246 | -0.0190 | Higher Medicaid % decreases predicted margin |
Turnaround: 40%Turnaround possible (40%) but uncertain. Margin improvement depends on improving State Peer Margin.
