Margin Prediction (Trained Ridge Model)
-1.3%
R²=0.34 | n=4,907 | Grade B | Actual: -11.2%
Ridge regression trained on 4,907 HCRIS hospitals. 90% CI: [-29.6%, 27.0%]. P59 nationally.
| Driver | Value | Effect | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Expense/Bed | 5134219.150 | -0.4283 | Higher Expense/Bed decreases predicted margin | |
| Revenue/Bed | 4618061.000 | +0.4242 | Higher Revenue/Bed increases predicted margin | |
| Reimbursement Quality | 0.510 | -0.0886 | Higher Reimbursement Quality decreases predicted m | |
| Bed Utilization Value | 2884073.986 | +0.0667 | Higher Bed Utilization Value increases predicted m | |
| Log(Beds) | 2.996 | -0.0320 | Lower Log(Beds) decreases predicted margin |
Turnaround: 48%Turnaround possible (48%) but uncertain. Margin improvement depends on improving Expense/Bed.
