A public disability-rights dashboard could make

2
00:00:02,121 --> 00:00:04,169
process measurable, but this is a

3
00:00:04,187 --> 00:00:05,797
policy proposal—not an existing federal system

4
00:00:05,871 --> 00:00:07,681
or legal finding. Track ten facts:

5
00:00:08,011 --> 00:00:11,009
reports received, accessible acknowledgments, jurisdiction decisions,

6
00:00:11,155 --> 00:00:13,972
referrals, preservation notices, response times, grievance

7
00:00:14,009 --> 00:00:17,191
access, provider-choice documentation, corrective actions, and

8
00:00:17,264 --> 00:00:19,386
final dispositions. Publish aggregate counts without

9
00:00:19,422 --> 00:00:20,977
exposing private information. Define each measure,

10
00:00:21,013 --> 00:00:22,861
period, and program scope; preserve

11
00:00:22,897 --> 00:00:25,512
sources and allow verification. A case

12
00:00:25,787 --> 00:00:28,146
number, referral, closure, delay, missing record,

13
00:00:28,202 --> 00:00:30,542
or unusual rate may raise a

14
00:00:30,579 --> 00:00:34,035
question; none alone proves discrimination, retaliation,

15
00:00:34,108 --> 00:00:36,212
obstruction, fraud, guilt, liability, or agency

16
00:00:36,230 --> 00:00:38,572
failure. Metrics show patterns for review;

17
00:00:38,955 --> 00:00:40,766
they do not replace investigation, context,

18
00:00:40,784 --> 00:00:43,582
due process, or adjudication. See david-medeiros.com/rights-dashboard.
