Margin Prediction (Trained Ridge Model)
-10.1%
R²=0.34 | n=4,907 | Grade B | Actual: -16.8%
Ridge regression trained on 4,907 HCRIS hospitals. 90% CI: [-38.4%, 18.2%]. P37 nationally.
| Driver | Value | Effect | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bed Count | 822.000 | -0.1051 | Higher Bed Count decreases predicted margin | |
| Log(Beds) | 6.712 | +0.0543 | Higher Log(Beds) increases predicted margin | |
| Expense/Bed | 1974039.562 | -0.0390 | Higher Expense/Bed decreases predicted margin | |
| Reimbursement Quality | 0.277 | -0.0216 | Higher Reimbursement Quality decreases predicted m | |
| Revenue/Bed | 1689597.303 | +0.0154 | Higher Revenue/Bed increases predicted margin |
Turnaround: 33%Turnaround possible (33%) but uncertain. Margin improvement depends on improving Bed Count.
