Margin Prediction (Trained Ridge Model)
-0.6%
R²=0.34 | n=4,907 | Grade B | Actual: -10.9%
Ridge regression trained on 4,907 HCRIS hospitals. 90% CI: [-28.9%, 27.7%]. P61 nationally.
| Driver | Value | Effect | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Expense/Bed | 2283967.796 | -0.0772 | Higher Expense/Bed decreases predicted margin | |
| Revenue/Bed | 2059483.773 | +0.0670 | Higher Revenue/Bed increases predicted margin | |
| Bed Utilization Value | 1606998.994 | +0.0243 | Higher Bed Utilization Value increases predicted m | |
| Log(Beds) | 5.199 | +0.0191 | Higher Log(Beds) increases predicted margin | |
| Occupancy | 0.780 | +0.0145 | Higher Occupancy increases predicted margin |
Turnaround: 49%Turnaround possible (49%) but uncertain. Margin improvement depends on improving Expense/Bed.
