00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:01.020
Question 92.

00:00:01.020 --> 00:00:03.890
What protections existed against
retaliation toward participants,

00:00:03.890 --> 00:00:06.760
families, staff, and providers
who supplied information?

00:00:06.760 --> 00:00:10.040
The 2023 report raises
a concern, not a

00:00:10.040 --> 00:00:10.450
finding.

00:00:10.450 --> 00:00:11.270
People served:

00:00:11.270 --> 00:00:14.550
Covered grievance systems must be
accessible, impartial, documented,

00:00:14.550 --> 00:00:17.421
and free from threatened
or actual retaliation.

00:00:17.421 --> 00:00:18.241
David Medeiros:

00:00:18.241 --> 00:00:20.291
Speech, petition, whistleblower,
public-record, and

00:00:20.291 --> 00:00:23.571
disability-retaliation theories each
have different actors and elements.

00:00:23.571 --> 00:00:24.391
ABI Resources:

00:00:24.391 --> 00:00:26.851
ABI may petition and
preserve evidence;

00:00:26.851 --> 00:00:29.721
contract retaliation and
constitutional retaliation are related

00:00:29.721 --> 00:00:30.951
but not interchangeable.

00:00:30.951 --> 00:00:33.001
Constitutional claims
need state action;

00:00:33.001 --> 00:00:36.281
beneficiary choice does not
guarantee ABI referrals or

00:00:36.281 --> 00:00:37.101
a contract.

00:00:37.101 --> 00:00:39.971
Classify the issue
before choosing a remedy.

00:00:39.971 --> 00:00:42.841
Preserve complaint intake, routing,
preservation, decision-makers, case

00:00:42.841 --> 00:00:45.712
files, responses, timing,
referrals, and adverse actions.

00:00:45.712 --> 00:00:48.582
Apply Constitution, statute,
regulation, contract, then record.
