The methodology must use appropriate case-mix and actuarial adjustments. The department shall issue an annual healthcare report of statewide measures deemed appropriate by the department required under state and federal guidelines. The report shall be formatted in a clear, concise manner in order to be easily understood by Medicaid beneficiaries and other stakeholders. The annual results of the cost effectiveness calculations, quality measures and the report cards shall be made public on the department's website by December thirty-first for the prior state fiscal year.
