Mercy Hospital: 6.1 TCR = 82% of Hospitals, general medical and surgical BLS 7.5 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Mercy Hospital safety composite

Mercy Hospital scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 52% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 36%), 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).
