R²=0.34 | n=4,907 | Grade B | Actual: -10.3%
Ridge regression trained on 4,907 HCRIS hospitals. 90% CI: [-34.5%, 22.1%]. P46 nationally.
| Driver | Value | Effect | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Expense/Bed | 1853324.778 | -0.0242 | Higher Expense/Bed decreases predicted margin | |
| Revenue/Bed | 1680030.944 | +0.0141 | Higher Revenue/Bed increases predicted margin | |
| Bed Count | 72.000 | +0.0120 | Higher Bed Count increases predicted margin | |
| State Peer Margin | -0.036 | +0.0074 | Higher State Peer Margin increases predicted margi | |
| Reimbursement Quality | 0.217 | -0.0046 | Reimbursement Quality has minimal effect |
Turnaround: 39%Turnaround possible (39%) but uncertain. Margin improvement depends on improving Expense/Bed.
