Lakes Region EMS: 13.4 TCR = 353% of Emergency medical transportation services, air or ground BLS 3.8 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Lakes Region EMS safety composite

Lakes Region EMS scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 72% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 24%), 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).

Lakes Region EMS has more employees than the Emergency medical transportation service median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 8.3. Workforce size and injury rate do not always move together within the same industry -- some of its smaller peers run higher rates than its larger ones, and vice versa.
