needed, to those with a right to share in the process, or excluding or limiting
participation of any individual when necessary to promote the achievement of
the purposes of the review;

their rights and providing an explanation of the purposes of the administrative
case review process, assuring disclosure.

This responsibility includes:
1) ensuring that the purposes of the
administrative case review are carried out;
