Margin Prediction (Trained Ridge Model)
-8.5%
R²=0.34 | n=4,907 | Grade B | Actual: -50.0%
Ridge regression trained on 4,907 HCRIS hospitals. 90% CI: [-36.8%, 19.8%]. P41 nationally.
| Driver | Value | Effect | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue/Bed | 390818.329 | -0.1659 | Lower Revenue/Bed decreases predicted margin | |
| Expense/Bed | 665746.994 | +0.1221 | Higher Expense/Bed increases predicted margin | |
| State Peer Margin | 0.004 | +0.0369 | Higher State Peer Margin increases predicted margi | |
| Reimbursement Quality | 0.078 | +0.0356 | Higher Reimbursement Quality increases predicted m | |
| Net-to-Gross | 0.107 | -0.0293 | Lower Net-to-Gross decreases predicted margin |
Turnaround: 35%Turnaround possible (35%) but uncertain. Margin improvement depends on improving Revenue/Bed.
