Margin Prediction (Trained Ridge Model)
-11.8%
R²=0.34 | n=4,907 | Grade B | Actual: -14.9%
Ridge regression trained on 4,907 HCRIS hospitals. 90% CI: [-40.1%, 16.5%]. P33 nationally.
| Driver | Value | Effect | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue/Bed | 532977.306 | -0.1461 | Lower Revenue/Bed decreases predicted margin | |
| Expense/Bed | 612403.556 | +0.1287 | Higher Expense/Bed increases predicted margin | |
| State Peer Margin | -0.125 | -0.0591 | Lower State Peer Margin decreases predicted margin | |
| Reimbursement Quality | 0.085 | +0.0334 | Higher Reimbursement Quality increases predicted m | |
| Net-to-Gross | 0.143 | -0.0253 | Lower Net-to-Gross decreases predicted margin |
Turnaround: 30%Turnaround possible (30%) but uncertain. Margin improvement depends on improving Revenue/Bed.
