Margin Prediction (Trained Ridge Model)
-8.8%
R²=0.34 | n=4,907 | Grade B | Actual: -5.7%
Ridge regression trained on 4,907 HCRIS hospitals. 90% CI: [-37.0%, 19.6%]. P40 nationally.
| Driver | Value | Effect | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue/Bed | 957763.779 | -0.0868 | Lower Revenue/Bed decreases predicted margin | |
| Expense/Bed | 1011925.000 | +0.0795 | Higher Expense/Bed increases predicted margin | |
| State Peer Margin | -0.082 | -0.0269 | Lower State Peer Margin decreases predicted margin | |
| Log(Beds) | 4.844 | +0.0109 | Higher Log(Beds) increases predicted margin | |
| Bed Utilization Value | 550112.407 | -0.0107 | Lower Bed Utilization Value decreases predicted ma |
Turnaround: 35%Turnaround possible (35%) but uncertain. Margin improvement depends on improving Revenue/Bed.
