Margin Prediction (Trained Ridge Model)
-1.7%
R²=0.34 | n=4,907 | Grade B | Actual: -4.3%
Ridge regression trained on 4,907 HCRIS hospitals. 90% CI: [-30.0%, 26.6%]. P58 nationally.
| Driver | Value | Effect | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bed Count | 554.000 | -0.0632 | Higher Bed Count decreases predicted margin | |
| Revenue/Bed | 1934501.771 | +0.0496 | Higher Revenue/Bed increases predicted margin | |
| Log(Beds) | 6.317 | +0.0451 | Higher Log(Beds) increases predicted margin | |
| Expense/Bed | 2017802.376 | -0.0444 | Higher Expense/Bed decreases predicted margin | |
| Bed Utilization Value | 1681115.618 | +0.0268 | Higher Bed Utilization Value increases predicted m |
Turnaround: 47%Turnaround possible (47%) but uncertain. Margin improvement depends on improving Bed Count.
