Margin Prediction (Trained Ridge Model)
-4.1%
R²=0.34 | n=4,907 | Grade B | Actual: -6.1%
Ridge regression trained on 4,907 HCRIS hospitals. 90% CI: [-32.4%, 24.2%]. P51 nationally.
| Driver | Value | Effect | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue/Bed | 1354771.090 | -0.0313 | Lower Revenue/Bed decreases predicted margin | |
| State Peer Margin | -0.006 | +0.0295 | Higher State Peer Margin increases predicted margi | |
| Expense/Bed | 1437344.098 | +0.0271 | Higher Expense/Bed increases predicted margin | |
| Bed Utilization Value | 524140.946 | -0.0116 | Lower Bed Utilization Value decreases predicted ma | |
| Net-to-Gross | 0.278 | -0.0102 | Lower Net-to-Gross decreases predicted margin |
Turnaround: 43%Turnaround possible (43%) but uncertain. Margin improvement depends on improving Revenue/Bed.
