The Advantage of a CHAP Certified Consultant
Working with a CHAP Certified Consultant from KPB Healthcare Consultants ensures that your consultant is highly knowledgeable, experienced, and competent in their area of practice, as they must pass rigorous assessments to demonstrate these qualifications. Our consultants receive regular continuing education in order to stay up-to-date on changes in healthcare technology, trends in patient care, and other important topics affecting the field. With all these measures in place, working with a CHAP Certified Consultant provides hospice agencies with the confidence that their patients are receiving the highest possible level of quality care and support.
KPB Healthcare Consultants can help you build and sustain an effective QAPI program in place to improve patient care outcomes and agency performance while maintaining regulatory compliance with the Medicare Conditions of Participation. Our consultants can also assist you with an onsite mock survey to ensure your agency is survey ready at all times — resulting in not only survey readiness findings, but assistance with a corrective action plan and the implementation of that plan.

Kathleen Beaver
Founder & Principal Consultant
Kathleen Beaver founded KPB Healthcare Consultants on a simple belief: that hospice agencies deserve a consultant who has been in the work — one who understands the weight of a census goal, the complexity of a rural referral network, and the stakes of a compliance gap at 2 a.m.
Whether you're navigating your first licensure application or looking to sharpen an established operation, KPB brings the same commitment: honest guidance, practical solutions, and respect for the mission that brought you to this work.
