Risk Factors:
- Negative operating margin
- Small facility (<50 beds) — limited scale
- Expenses exceed revenue
Catalysts:
- Strong commercial payer base protects revenue
- Limited competition supports pricing power
Margin Prediction (Trained Ridge Model)
-9.5%
R²=0.34 | n=4,907 | Grade B | Actual: -7.9%
Ridge regression trained on 4,907 HCRIS hospitals. 90% CI: [-37.8%, 18.8%]. P38 nationally.
| Driver | Value | Effect | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue/Bed | 210472.125 | -0.1911 | Lower Revenue/Bed decreases predicted margin | |
| Expense/Bed | 227052.725 | +0.1762 | Higher Expense/Bed increases predicted margin | |
| Bed Utilization Value | 91555.374 | -0.0259 | Lower Bed Utilization Value decreases predicted ma | |
| Bed Count | 40.000 | +0.0170 | Higher Bed Count increases predicted margin | |
| Log(Beds) | 3.689 | -0.0159 | Lower Log(Beds) decreases predicted margin |
Turnaround: 34%Turnaround possible (34%) but uncertain. Margin improvement depends on improving Revenue/Bed.
