Margin Prediction (Trained Ridge Model)
-6.3%
R²=0.34 | n=4,907 | Grade B | Actual: -7.9%
Ridge regression trained on 4,907 HCRIS hospitals. 90% CI: [-34.6%, 21.9%]. P46 nationally.
| Driver | Value | Effect | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue/Bed | 1198826.577 | -0.0531 | Lower Revenue/Bed decreases predicted margin | |
| Expense/Bed | 1293609.615 | +0.0448 | Higher Expense/Bed increases predicted margin | |
| State Peer Margin | -0.006 | +0.0290 | Higher State Peer Margin increases predicted margi | |
| Log(Beds) | 3.258 | -0.0259 | Lower Log(Beds) decreases predicted margin | |
| Bed Count | 26.000 | +0.0191 | Higher Bed Count increases predicted margin |
Turnaround: 39%Turnaround possible (39%) but uncertain. Margin improvement depends on improving Revenue/Bed.
