R²=0.34 | n=4,907 | Grade B | Actual: -5.3%
Ridge regression trained on 4,907 HCRIS hospitals. 90% CI: [-34.2%, 22.4%]. P47 nationally.
| Driver | Value | Effect | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue/Bed | 2467871.421 | +0.1240 | Higher Revenue/Bed increases predicted margin | |
| Expense/Bed | 2598508.526 | -0.1160 | Higher Expense/Bed decreases predicted margin | |
| Log(Beds) | 2.944 | -0.0332 | Lower Log(Beds) decreases predicted margin | |
| Reimbursement Quality | 0.295 | -0.0270 | Higher Reimbursement Quality decreases predicted m | |
| Bed Count | 19.000 | +0.0202 | Higher Bed Count increases predicted margin |
Turnaround: 40%Turnaround possible (40%) but uncertain. Margin improvement depends on Revenue/Bed.
