Margin Prediction (Trained Ridge Model)
-9.1%
R²=0.34 | n=4,907 | Grade B | Actual: -50.0%
Ridge regression trained on 4,907 HCRIS hospitals. 90% CI: [-37.4%, 19.2%]. P39 nationally.
| Driver | Value | Effect | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue/Bed | 666576.064 | -0.1274 | Lower Revenue/Bed decreases predicted margin | |
| Expense/Bed | 1014595.564 | +0.0792 | Higher Expense/Bed increases predicted margin | |
| Log(Beds) | 5.799 | +0.0331 | Higher Log(Beds) increases predicted margin | |
| State Peer Margin | -0.006 | +0.0290 | Higher State Peer Margin increases predicted margi | |
| Bed Count | 330.000 | -0.0283 | Higher Bed Count decreases predicted margin |
Turnaround: 34%Turnaround possible (34%) but uncertain. Margin improvement depends on improving Revenue/Bed.
