Margin Prediction (Trained Ridge Model)
-5.9%
R²=0.34 | n=4,907 | Grade B | Actual: -1.1%
Ridge regression trained on 4,907 HCRIS hospitals. 90% CI: [-34.2%, 22.4%]. P47 nationally.
| Driver | Value | Effect | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bed Count | 54.000 | +0.0148 | Higher Bed Count increases predicted margin | |
| Reimbursement Quality | 0.242 | -0.0116 | Higher Reimbursement Quality decreases predicted m | |
| Log(Beds) | 3.989 | -0.0090 | Lower Log(Beds) decreases predicted margin | |
| Expense/Bed | 1588298.796 | +0.0085 | Higher Expense/Bed increases predicted margin | |
| State Peer Margin | -0.036 | +0.0074 | Higher State Peer Margin increases predicted margi |
Turnaround: 40%Turnaround possible (40%) but uncertain. Margin improvement depends on Bed Count.
