R²=0.34 | n=4,907 | Grade B | Actual: -5.5%
Ridge regression trained on 4,907 HCRIS hospitals. 90% CI: [-33.7%, 22.9%]. P48 nationally.
| Driver | Value | Effect | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue/Bed | 4599738.333 | +0.4216 | Higher Revenue/Bed increases predicted margin | |
| Expense/Bed | 4853789.762 | -0.3938 | Higher Expense/Bed decreases predicted margin | |
| Reimbursement Quality | 0.356 | -0.0444 | Higher Reimbursement Quality decreases predicted m | |
| Bed Utilization Value | 1814091.191 | +0.0312 | Higher Bed Utilization Value increases predicted m | |
| Log(Beds) | 3.045 | -0.0309 | Lower Log(Beds) decreases predicted margin |
Turnaround: 41%Turnaround possible (41%) but uncertain. Margin improvement depends on Revenue/Bed.
