Margin Prediction (Trained Ridge Model)
-2.9%
R²=0.34 | n=4,907 | Grade B | Actual: -13.9%
Ridge regression trained on 4,907 HCRIS hospitals. 90% CI: [-31.2%, 25.4%]. P55 nationally.
| Driver | Value | Effect | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| State Peer Margin | -0.004 | +0.0313 | Higher State Peer Margin increases predicted margi | |
| Expense/Bed | 1859608.349 | -0.0249 | Higher Expense/Bed decreases predicted margin | |
| Log(Beds) | 4.984 | +0.0142 | Higher Log(Beds) increases predicted margin | |
| Reimbursement Quality | 0.233 | -0.0090 | Higher Reimbursement Quality decreases predicted m | |
| Revenue/Bed | 1633097.164 | +0.0075 | Higher Revenue/Bed increases predicted margin |
Turnaround: 45%Turnaround possible (45%) but uncertain. Margin improvement depends on State Peer Margin.
