Trend analysis for Avista Adventist Hospital

Between 2016 and 2022, Avista Adventist Hospital's Total Case Rate improved from 7.6 to 6.9 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 9% decrease across 6 years of OSHA reporting.

The safest year on record was 2020, at a TCR of 6.1, while 2017 saw the highest rate, at 8.6, a spread of 2.5 points between the best and worst reporting years. That's a comparatively narrow spread, suggesting a fairly consistent safety record across the 7 years with a usable rate on file, rather than one outlier year skewing the multi-year average.

Summed across those 7 reporting years, Avista Adventist Hospital recorded 218 total injuries and illnesses, with no fatalities reported in any of those years. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 7-year trend above alongside establishment size, since a larger workforce naturally accumulates more raw incidents even at a lower per-100-worker rate.

DART Rate, Transparent Calculation (2022)

What is the DART rate formula?

DART (Days Away, Restricted, or Transferred) is computed by OSHA as incidents × 200,000 ÷ hours worked. The 200,000-hour denominator equals roughly 100 full-time workers, which lets establishments of very different sizes be compared directly.

10 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 926,013 hours worked = 2.16 DART

Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
