Margin Prediction (Trained Ridge Model)
-2.4%
R²=0.34 | n=4,907 | Grade B | Actual: -6.3%
Ridge regression trained on 4,907 HCRIS hospitals. 90% CI: [-30.7%, 25.9%]. P56 nationally.
| Driver | Value | Effect | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| State Peer Margin | -0.006 | +0.0290 | Higher State Peer Margin increases predicted margi | |
| Net-to-Gross | 0.201 | -0.0188 | Lower Net-to-Gross decreases predicted margin | |
| Reimbursement Quality | 0.152 | +0.0142 | Higher Reimbursement Quality increases predicted m | |
| Bed Count | 65.000 | +0.0131 | Higher Bed Count increases predicted margin | |
| Medicaid % | 0.009 | +0.0097 | Higher Medicaid % increases predicted margin |
Turnaround: 46%Turnaround possible (46%) but uncertain. Margin improvement depends on State Peer Margin.
