Homecare Homebase (HCHB), the industry’s leading electronic health record (EHR) platform for home-based care, and Element5, the leader in post-acute automation with its purpose-built Agentic AI platform, today announced a strategic alliance designed to bring next-generation operational efficiency to healthcare providers.

Through this collaboration, Element5’s Agentic AI platform will be integrated with the HCHB EHR, empowering providers to streamline workflows and focus more on delivering exceptional patient care. This marks a pivotal shift in the post-acute care sector, which continues to face staffing shortages, the growth of Medicare Advantage, slim margins, and a heavy regulatory burden.

Unlike traditional automation tools that simply replicate individual clicks, Agentic AI has the ability to transform workflow efficiency by combining intelligence, business rules, tools, and advanced orchestration across complex systems. By enhancing HCHB’s proprietary platform with Element5’s intelligent agents, providers will be able to automate complex processes across the care ecosystem, reducing operational costs, improving workflow management, and enhancing transparency throughout the patient financial journey.

“Agentic AI combines intelligence with sophisticated orchestration to automate not just tasks, but entire workflows,” said Joe Randesi, CEO of Element5. “Because Element5 is solely focused on post-acute care, our platform is infused with deep domain expertise and reliability, making us uniquely positioned to address the nuanced challenges of this space. Partnering with Homecare Homebase is a powerful endorsement of this movement — together, we’re enabling providers to maximize the value of digital records while eliminating administrative burdens.”

Luke Rutledge, President of Homecare Homebase, added, “We are committed to providing our customers with the best tools to succeed in a rapidly evolving healthcare environment. Element5’s Agentic AI platform is a game-changer, and this alliance will help agencies make significant strides in efficiency while preserving the workflows essential to financial and regulatory excellence. It’s an exciting step forward that will deliver a meaningful impact for our customers.”
