Margin Prediction (Trained Ridge Model)
-0.0%
R²=0.34 | n=4,907 | Grade B | Actual: -18.9%
Ridge regression trained on 4,907 HCRIS hospitals. 90% CI: [-28.3%, 28.3%]. P62 nationally.
| Driver | Value | Effect | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Expense/Bed | 3581941.887 | -0.2371 | Higher Expense/Bed decreases predicted margin | |
| Revenue/Bed | 3013625.774 | +0.2002 | Higher Revenue/Bed increases predicted margin | |
| Bed Utilization Value | 2700526.471 | +0.0606 | Higher Bed Utilization Value increases predicted m | |
| Log(Beds) | 5.793 | +0.0330 | Higher Log(Beds) increases predicted margin | |
| Bed Count | 328.000 | -0.0280 | Higher Bed Count decreases predicted margin |
Turnaround: 50%Turnaround possible (50%) but uncertain. Margin improvement depends on improving Expense/Bed.
