Margin Prediction (Trained Ridge Model)
-4.5%
R²=0.34 | n=4,907 | Grade B | Actual: -18.4%
Ridge regression trained on 4,907 HCRIS hospitals. 90% CI: [-32.8%, 23.8%]. P51 nationally.
| Driver | Value | Effect | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue/Bed | 546416.667 | -0.1442 | Lower Revenue/Bed decreases predicted margin | |
| Expense/Bed | 647246.778 | +0.1244 | Higher Expense/Bed increases predicted margin | |
| Reimbursement Quality | 0.054 | +0.0424 | Higher Reimbursement Quality increases predicted m | |
| Log(Beds) | 2.890 | -0.0345 | Lower Log(Beds) decreases predicted margin | |
| Net-to-Gross | 0.091 | -0.0311 | Lower Net-to-Gross decreases predicted margin |
Turnaround: 42%Turnaround possible (42%) but uncertain. Margin improvement depends on improving Revenue/Bed.
