R²=0.34 | n=4,907 | Grade B | Actual: -50.0%
Ridge regression trained on 4,907 HCRIS hospitals. 90% CI: [-36.6%, 20.0%]. P41 nationally.
| Driver | Value | Effect | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue/Bed | 67669.971 | -0.2110 | Lower Revenue/Bed decreases predicted margin | |
| Expense/Bed | 362621.071 | +0.1595 | Higher Expense/Bed increases predicted margin | |
| State Peer Margin | -0.006 | +0.0295 | Higher State Peer Margin increases predicted margi | |
| Bed Utilization Value | 50544.569 | -0.0273 | Lower Bed Utilization Value decreases predicted ma | |
| Net-to-Gross | 0.222 | -0.0164 | Lower Net-to-Gross decreases predicted margin |
Turnaround: 36%Turnaround possible (36%) but uncertain. Margin improvement depends on improving Revenue/Bed.
