As workforce shortages and rising costs continue to challenge the human services sector, LaunchPad offers a practical opportunity for providers to evaluate new service lines, strengthen sustainability, and prepare for modernization with the support of experienced subject matter experts.

“Providers want to innovate, but the complexity and cost of starting something new can feel like a barrier,” said Ken Smith, Chief Experience Officer at NextGen AT. “LaunchPad removes that barrier. It gives agencies the space to explore what’s possible supported by real experts and a proven framework without the pressure of a long-term commitment.”

A SMARTER START TO MODERNIZATION

LaunchPad combines consulting, operational design, and technology planning into a structured, 12-week engagement. Providers receive a comprehensive readiness package including organizational assessment, strategic roadmap, compliance and policy templates, communication tools, and a documented service model giving them everything needed to design, staff, and scale a sustainable remote support operation with confidence.

Once an agency is ready, NextGen AT provides the full-service solution including hardware, software, monitoring, escalation protocols, and compliance support so providers can transition seamlessly from planning to implementation and operate a profitable, person-centered remote support business line.

“Our goal is to make modernization approachable,” Smith added. “Whether an agency is just exploring remote supports or ready to scale, LaunchPad creates a pathway that’s both safe and strategic.”

NATIONWIDE MOMENTUM

NextGen AT is already working with providers from South Dakota to Maryland, helping agencies evaluate readiness, identify funding opportunities, and build person-centered remote support models that reduce workforce strain while enhancing independence for individuals.

As demand for technology-enabled care continues to grow, LaunchPad offers providers the chance to step confidently into the future, with a trusted partner and a clear plan.
