Trend analysis for Hospital Universitario de Adultos
Between 2019 and 2024, Hospital Universitario de Adultos's Total Case Rate improved from 15.0 to 8.1 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 46% decrease across 5 years of OSHA reporting.
The safest year on record was 2024, at a TCR of 8.1, while 2019 saw the highest rate, at 15.0, a spread of 6.9 points between the best and worst reporting years. That's a comparatively narrow spread, suggesting a fairly consistent safety record across the 2 years with a usable rate on file, rather than one outlier year skewing the multi-year average.
Summed across those 2 reporting years, Hospital Universitario de Adultos recorded 123 total injuries and illnesses, with no fatalities reported in any of those years. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 2-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 (2024)
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.
19 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 1,084,924 hours worked = 3.50 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
