Margin Prediction (Trained Ridge Model)
-12.3%
R²=0.34 | n=4,907 | Grade B | Actual: -39.4%
Ridge regression trained on 4,907 HCRIS hospitals. 90% CI: [-40.6%, 16.0%]. P32 nationally.
| Driver | Value | Effect | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Expense/Bed | 2580799.277 | -0.1138 | Higher Expense/Bed decreases predicted margin | |
| Revenue/Bed | 1851220.089 | +0.0380 | Higher Revenue/Bed increases predicted margin | |
| Net-to-Gross | 0.223 | -0.0163 | Lower Net-to-Gross decreases predicted margin | |
| Commercial % | 0.813 | +0.0093 | Higher Commercial % increases predicted margin | |
| Bed Count | 101.000 | +0.0074 | Higher Bed Count increases predicted margin |
Turnaround: 30%Low turnaround probability (30%). Structural disadvantages in Expense/Bed and Revenue/Bed.
