Trend analysis for Lincoln County Medical Center
Between 2018 and 2019, Lincoln County Medical Center's Total Case Rate improved from 0.7 to 0.7 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 6% decrease across 1 year of OSHA reporting.
The safest year on record was 2019, at a TCR of 0.7, while 2018 saw the highest rate, at 0.7, a spread of 0.0 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.

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 (2019)
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.
1 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 888,821 hours worked = 0.23 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
