Margin Prediction (Trained Ridge Model)
-3.6%
R²=0.34 | n=4,907 | Grade B | Actual: -0.8%
Ridge regression trained on 4,907 HCRIS hospitals. 90% CI: [-31.9%, 24.7%]. P53 nationally.
| Driver | Value | Effect | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue/Bed | 2801434.640 | +0.1706 | Higher Revenue/Bed increases predicted margin | |
| Expense/Bed | 2823600.960 | -0.1437 | Higher Expense/Bed decreases predicted margin | |
| State Peer Margin | -0.093 | -0.0351 | Lower State Peer Margin decreases predicted margin | |
| Bed Utilization Value | 1828837.934 | +0.0317 | Higher Bed Utilization Value increases predicted m | |
| Log(Beds) | 3.219 | -0.0268 | Lower Log(Beds) decreases predicted margin |
Turnaround: 44%Turnaround possible (44%) but uncertain. Margin improvement depends on Revenue/Bed.
