PHX-Independence: 4.5 TCR = 87% of Home health care agencies BLS 5.2 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

PHX-Independence safety composite

PHX-Independence scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 61% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 49%), 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).
