Margin Prediction (Trained Ridge Model)
-5.3%
R²=0.34 | n=4,907 | Grade B | Actual: -22.4%
Ridge regression trained on 4,907 HCRIS hospitals. 90% CI: [-33.6%, 23.0%]. P49 nationally.
| Driver | Value | Effect | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Expense/Bed | 3362341.721 | -0.2101 | Higher Expense/Bed decreases predicted margin | |
| Revenue/Bed | 2746802.326 | +0.1630 | Higher Revenue/Bed increases predicted margin | |
| Bed Utilization Value | 1527848.633 | +0.0217 | Higher Bed Utilization Value increases predicted m | |
| State Peer Margin | -0.027 | +0.0137 | Higher State Peer Margin increases predicted margi | |
| Net-to-Gross | 0.278 | -0.0102 | Lower Net-to-Gross decreases predicted margin |
Turnaround: 41%Turnaround possible (41%) but uncertain. Margin improvement depends on improving Expense/Bed.
