NorthWest EMS: 10.8 TCR = 286% of Ambulance services, air or ground BLS 3.8 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

NorthWest EMS safety composite

NorthWest EMS scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 73% 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).
