Margin Prediction (Trained Ridge Model)
-6.5%
R²=0.34 | n=4,907 | Grade B | Actual: -18.1%
Ridge regression trained on 4,907 HCRIS hospitals. 90% CI: [-34.8%, 21.8%]. P45 nationally.
| Driver | Value | Effect | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Expense/Bed | 2607463.927 | -0.1171 | Higher Expense/Bed decreases predicted margin | |
| Revenue/Bed | 2207954.897 | +0.0878 | Higher Revenue/Bed increases predicted margin | |
| Reimbursement Quality | 0.496 | -0.0847 | Higher Reimbursement Quality decreases predicted m | |
| Bed Utilization Value | 1776772.085 | +0.0300 | Higher Bed Utilization Value increases predicted m | |
| Net-to-Gross | 0.552 | +0.0205 | Higher Net-to-Gross increases predicted margin |
Turnaround: 39%Turnaround possible (39%) but uncertain. Margin improvement depends on improving Expense/Bed.
