From the transcript
First, we're going to look at Alaska's current methodologies and how other states approach these reviews, not to simply copy another state's model, but to identify approaches that may be useful for Alaska's planning needs. And then we want to hear from you through the survey, through listening session and focus groups. We'll explore where you're seeing challenges with access what it takes to deliver services in your communities, and then we'll bring those pieces together to develop recommendations aimed at making the review process more clear, more consistent, and better aligned with healthcare delivery across Alaska. Next slide, please. Here's how we expect the work to unfold.
