Margin Prediction (Trained Ridge Model)
-6.3%
R²=0.34 | n=4,907 | Grade B | Actual: -2.8%
Ridge regression trained on 4,907 HCRIS hospitals. 90% CI: [-34.6%, 22.0%]. P46 nationally.
| Driver | Value | Effect | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue/Bed | 1094190.204 | -0.0677 | Lower Revenue/Bed decreases predicted margin | |
| Expense/Bed | 1124717.021 | +0.0656 | Higher Expense/Bed increases predicted margin | |
| Log(Beds) | 5.666 | +0.0300 | Higher Log(Beds) increases predicted margin | |
| Bed Count | 289.000 | -0.0219 | Higher Bed Count decreases predicted margin | |
| Net-to-Gross | 0.187 | -0.0203 | Lower Net-to-Gross decreases predicted margin |
Turnaround: 39%Turnaround possible (39%) but uncertain. Margin improvement depends on improving Revenue/Bed.
