Lake Region Medical: 2.2 TCR = 65% of Medical Device Manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 7y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Lake Region Medical safety composite

Lake Region Medical scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 34%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).
