Margin Prediction (Trained Ridge Model)
-11.1%
R²=0.34 | n=4,907 | Grade B | Actual: -30.4%
Ridge regression trained on 4,907 HCRIS hospitals. 90% CI: [-39.4%, 17.2%]. P35 nationally.
| Driver | Value | Effect | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue/Bed | 652906.225 | -0.1293 | Lower Revenue/Bed decreases predicted margin | |
| Expense/Bed | 851119.950 | +0.0993 | Higher Expense/Bed increases predicted margin | |
| State Peer Margin | -0.006 | +0.0290 | Higher State Peer Margin increases predicted margi | |
| Bed Utilization Value | 34791.852 | -0.0278 | Lower Bed Utilization Value decreases predicted ma | |
| Occupancy | 0.053 | -0.0268 | Lower Occupancy decreases predicted margin |
Turnaround: 31%Turnaround possible (31%) but uncertain. Margin improvement depends on improving Revenue/Bed.
