Margin Prediction (Trained Ridge Model)
-10.7%
R²=0.34 | n=4,907 | Grade B | Actual: -12.9%
Ridge regression trained on 4,907 HCRIS hospitals. 90% CI: [-39.0%, 17.6%]. P36 nationally.
| Driver | Value | Effect | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Expense/Bed | 1892037.531 | -0.0289 | Higher Expense/Bed decreases predicted margin | |
| Log(Beds) | 3.466 | -0.0211 | Lower Log(Beds) decreases predicted margin | |
| Bed Count | 32.000 | +0.0182 | Higher Bed Count increases predicted margin | |
| Revenue/Bed | 1675345.562 | +0.0134 | Higher Revenue/Bed increases predicted margin | |
| Occupancy | 0.340 | -0.0105 | Lower Occupancy decreases predicted margin |
Turnaround: 32%Turnaround possible (32%) but uncertain. Margin improvement depends on improving Expense/Bed.
