Margin Prediction (Trained Ridge Model)
-3.0%
R²=0.34 | n=4,907 | Grade B | Actual: -8.1%
Ridge regression trained on 4,907 HCRIS hospitals. 90% CI: [-31.3%, 25.3%]. P54 nationally.
| Driver | Value | Effect | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue/Bed | 2806459.864 | +0.1713 | Higher Revenue/Bed increases predicted margin | |
| Expense/Bed | 3033901.533 | -0.1696 | Higher Expense/Bed decreases predicted margin | |
| Bed Utilization Value | 2200679.469 | +0.0440 | Higher Bed Utilization Value increases predicted m | |
| Bed Count | 396.000 | -0.0386 | Higher Bed Count decreases predicted margin | |
| Log(Beds) | 5.981 | +0.0373 | Higher Log(Beds) increases predicted margin |
Turnaround: 45%Turnaround possible (45%) but uncertain. Margin improvement depends on Revenue/Bed.
