1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:01,006
Question 95.

2
00:00:01,006 --> 00:00:04,230
Were participant privacy and
consent protected without using

3
00:00:04,230 --> 00:00:07,454
privacy as a blanket reason
to avoid investigating...?

4
00:00:07,454 --> 00:00:10,679
The 2023 report raises
a concern, not a

5
00:00:10,679 --> 00:00:11,082
finding.

6
00:00:11,082 --> 00:00:11,888
People served:

7
00:00:11,888 --> 00:00:15,112
Covered grievance systems must be
accessible, impartial, documented,

8
00:00:15,112 --> 00:00:17,933
and free from threatened
or actual retaliation.

9
00:00:17,933 --> 00:00:18,739
David Medeiros:

10
00:00:18,739 --> 00:00:20,754
Speech, petition, whistleblower,
public-record, and

11
00:00:20,754 --> 00:00:23,979
disability-retaliation theories each
have different actors and elements.

12
00:00:23,979 --> 00:00:24,785
ABI Resources:

13
00:00:24,785 --> 00:00:27,203
ABI may petition and
preserve evidence;

14
00:00:27,203 --> 00:00:30,024
contract retaliation and
constitutional retaliation are related

15
00:00:30,024 --> 00:00:31,233
but not interchangeable.

16
00:00:31,233 --> 00:00:33,248
Constitutional claims
need state action;

17
00:00:33,248 --> 00:00:36,472
beneficiary choice does not
guarantee ABI referrals or

18
00:00:36,472 --> 00:00:37,278
a contract.

19
00:00:37,278 --> 00:00:40,100
Classify the issue
before choosing a remedy.

20
00:00:40,100 --> 00:00:42,921
Preserve complaint intake, routing,
preservation, decision-makers, case

21
00:00:42,921 --> 00:00:45,742
files, responses, timing,
referrals, and adverse actions.

22
00:00:45,742 --> 00:00:48,563
Apply Constitution, statute,
regulation, contract, then record.
