Margin Prediction (Trained Ridge Model)
-3.1%
R²=0.34 | n=4,907 | Grade B | Actual: -4.3%
Ridge regression trained on 4,907 HCRIS hospitals. 90% CI: [-31.4%, 25.2%]. P54 nationally.
| Driver | Value | Effect | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| State Peer Margin | -0.103 | -0.0426 | Lower State Peer Margin decreases predicted margin | |
| Reimbursement Quality | 0.096 | +0.0302 | Higher Reimbursement Quality increases predicted m | |
| Revenue/Bed | 1786458.562 | +0.0289 | Higher Revenue/Bed increases predicted margin | |
| Expense/Bed | 1863916.455 | -0.0255 | Higher Expense/Bed decreases predicted margin | |
| Net-to-Gross | 0.157 | -0.0237 | Lower Net-to-Gross decreases predicted margin |
Turnaround: 45%Turnaround possible (45%) but uncertain. Margin improvement depends on improving State Peer Margin.
