About Us

Welcome, Fellow Home Health Clinicians!

We are Smita and Mukesh, founders of CoLab Healthcare Solutions & Registered  Physical Therapists. With over 16 years of experience in the home health industry, both on administrative as well as clinical aspects we have a deep understanding of the challenges faced by clinicians working in Home health industry  as well as  home health agencies.

Our Journey in Home Health Care

We started as home health physical therapists back in 2008. Remember the Good Old Days of Paper Documentation in Home Health? If you started in home health around 2008 like we did, you probably recall the days when documenting visits on paper was the norm. It had its perks—simple, straightforward, and no need to worry about software glitches. But then came the rise of EMRs, which promised to make our lives easier. While they did improve some aspects, they also brought a whole new set of challenges. Getting documentation done accurately and on time was a constant source of stress, often spilling over into our personal time.

Unlike clinics, SNFs, or hospitals, working in home health meant dealing with a different environment every day. There was no standard setup, and the hands-on nature of our work meant there was little opportunity to sit down and document as the day went. So, we’d end up pushing that task to the end of the day, eating into time that could have been spent with family or unwinding.

In 2021, after  transitioning into administrative roles, we saw the broader scale of challenges home health agencies face. The ever-changing rules and regulations from insurance companies and the CMS make it difficult for agencies to support their clinicians while running a successful business. This realization inspired us to create CoLab Healthcare Solutions, aiming to provide solutions that support both clinicians and home health companies.

Our AI-enabled and robotic process automation (RPA) documentation solution, not only helps clinicians complete the documentation in minimal time but also maintain compliance with CMS guidelines for justifying medical necessary, reasonable and skilled care, and reduce the risk of denials or chart audits.

Our mission

“To empower clinicians with the tools they need to succeed, focusing more on patient care and less on documentation.” 

“To enable home health companies prevent denials, maximize their revenue and energize their clinicians.”
