Margin Prediction (Trained Ridge Model)
-8.8%
R²=0.34 | n=4,907 | Grade B | Actual: -29.4%
Ridge regression trained on 4,907 HCRIS hospitals. 90% CI: [-37.1%, 19.5%]. P40 nationally.
| Driver | Value | Effect | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue/Bed | 251496.882 | -0.1853 | Lower Revenue/Bed decreases predicted margin | |
| Expense/Bed | 325428.882 | +0.1641 | Higher Expense/Bed increases predicted margin | |
| Reimbursement Quality | 0.579 | -0.1087 | Higher Reimbursement Quality decreases predicted m | |
| Net-to-Gross | 0.955 | +0.0657 | Higher Net-to-Gross increases predicted margin | |
| Occupancy × Net-to-Gross | 0.804 | +0.0460 | Higher Occupancy × Net-to-Gross increases predicte |
Turnaround: 35%Turnaround possible (35%) but uncertain. Margin improvement depends on improving Revenue/Bed.
