Margin Prediction (Trained Ridge Model)
-4.2%
R²=0.34 | n=4,907 | Grade B | Actual: -8.2%
Ridge regression trained on 4,907 HCRIS hospitals. 90% CI: [-32.5%, 24.1%]. P51 nationally.
| Driver | Value | Effect | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue/Bed | 234759.278 | -0.1877 | Lower Revenue/Bed decreases predicted margin | |
| Expense/Bed | 253932.856 | +0.1729 | Higher Expense/Bed increases predicted margin | |
| State Peer Margin | 0.007 | +0.0391 | Higher State Peer Margin increases predicted margi | |
| Reimbursement Quality | 0.303 | -0.0293 | Higher Reimbursement Quality decreases predicted m | |
| Bed Utilization Value | 175429.855 | -0.0231 | Lower Bed Utilization Value decreases predicted ma |
Turnaround: 43%Turnaround possible (43%) but uncertain. Margin improvement depends on improving Revenue/Bed.
