News and Updates

 

September 2026

 

AMSI has updated its Support Service Standard – Core and Context Guides to strengthen their practical application across different support-service settings.

 

The updated materials provide a clearer common framework for determining support-service Quality while allowing the same Core requirements to be applied to different populations, services, organizations, and local conditions.

 

The Context Guides translate the Core into context-specific requirements and Quality Outcome Criteria, while the Reference Layer allows applicable laws, regulations, program requirements, professional sources, and other local particulars to be identified without changing the common quality framework.

 

This structure is intended to support implementation locally, across different U.S. jurisdictions, and internationally, while maintaining a consistent approach to Support Service Quality.

 

Updated materials are available at amsi-inc.org → Standards, Resources.

 

 

 

August 2026

 

AMSI has expanded its standards and research materials with new publications further developing the foundations of support-service quality under the Whole Quality Institute — WQI.

 

The new materials present the Support-Service Quality Object as a coherent quality object bringing together the Person Receiving Support, Support Workers, Support Work, Support Results, Intended Functions and Results, service conditions, boundaries, interfaces, responsibilities, context, and the evidence base required for Quality State determination.

 

New research publications also justify the invariant Core Quality Factors and Quality Indicators for the support service quality - core standard.

 

These additions strengthen the foundation for applying the AMSI quality framework to different support-service contexts while maintaining a structured connection between the Quality Object, Quality Factors, Indicators, evidence, and bounded Quality Claims.

July 2026

 

AMSI has released an updated set of standards, guidance, and publications as part of the Whole Quality Institute (WQI).

 

The updated AMSI materials apply the WQI approach to support-service quality, describing quality as an observed, evidenced, and bounded service quality state in real-life support contexts.

 

The updated resources include foundational AMSI materials, support-service quality standard - core, PCA and VRJ context guides, and other publications.

 

Together, these publications provide a practical framework for connecting service quality factors, indicators, outcome criteria, evidence, real-life conditions, and bounded quality claims.
