00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:03.830
The report says ABI
Resources repeatedly lacked

00:00:03.830 --> 00:00:07.461
service and intervention
plans needed to guide

00:00:07.461 --> 00:00:09.535
staff and track outcomes.

00:00:09.535 --> 00:00:13.685
Federal HCBS rules
make the person—not the

00:00:13.685 --> 00:00:16.278
bureaucracy—the center of planning.

00:00:16.278 --> 00:00:19.908
Plans must be understandable,
reflect preferences and

00:00:19.908 --> 00:00:23.539
assessed needs, identify goals,
providers, risks, signatures,

00:00:23.539 --> 00:00:24.576
and distribution.

00:00:24.576 --> 00:00:28.206
For the person served, a missing plan

00:00:28.206 --> 00:00:31.837
can affect informed
choice, safety, and due

00:00:31.837 --> 00:00:32.355
process.

00:00:32.355 --> 00:00:35.986
For Medeiros, documenting
the gap may be

00:00:35.986 --> 00:00:37.023
protected advocacy.

00:00:37.023 --> 00:00:40.654
For ABI Resources, the issue may be

00:00:40.654 --> 00:00:43.765
contractual or administrative,
not automatically constitutional.

00:00:43.765 --> 00:00:47.396
A fair counterargument is that
confidentiality, authorization,

00:00:47.396 --> 00:00:50.508
or role limits may
restrict disclosure.

00:00:50.508 --> 00:00:53.620
The answer is the plan trail:

00:00:53.620 --> 00:00:57.250
creation, consent, distribution,
revisions, denials, and notices.
