| Revenue/Bed | 463697.071 | -0.1557 | Lower Revenue/Bed decreases predicted margin | |
| Expense/Bed | 664206.724 | +0.1223 | Higher Expense/Bed increases predicted margin | |
| Net-to-Gross | 1.000 | +0.0708 | Higher Net-to-Gross increases predicted margin | |
| Reimbursement Quality | 0.426 | -0.0647 | Higher Reimbursement Quality decreases predicted m | |
| Medicaid % | 0.522 | -0.0525 | Higher Medicaid % decreases predicted margin |
Turnaround: 29%Low turnaround probability (29%). Structural disadvantages in Revenue/Bed and Expense/Bed.
