Practical Operational Support For Real Hospital Teams
Operational Expertise With A Heart For Care
Green Healthcare Consulting was founded by Cathleen Kloczkowski to help hospitals solve real operational challenges. Cathleen began her healthcare career in 1989 and has worked across multiple hospital departments and leadership roles. Her experience spans admitting, Labor and Delivery, emergency support, perioperative services, and environmental services operations management, giving her a full-facility understanding of how hospitals function day to day.
Healthcare teams carry heavy workloads while expectations continue to grow. Our role is to reduce confusion, operational risk, and unnecessary rework so caregivers can focus on patients. We start by listening and observing how work actually happens, then map workflows, clarify responsibilities, and implement practical improvements. Standards are met because operations are organized, not because staff are memorizing rules.
Built For Hospitals, Guided By Experience
Our work is grounded in real hospital environments. Recommendations are based on firsthand operational experience, not theory. We believe practical solutions come from understanding how departments interact, how communication flows, and how daily decisions affect safety and performance.
Integrity guides every recommendation and accountability matters, so we define ownership, timelines, and measurable expectations. Sustainability is part of operations because efficient systems reduce waste and support patient safety. Partnership drives our work through clear communication and steady follow-through. The goal is reliable operations, prepared teams, and safer care.
Our Story
While working in hospital operations leadership, Cathleen repeatedly saw the same pattern. Workflow gaps created workarounds, workarounds created documentation issues, and documentation issues became survey findings and safety concerns. The underlying problem was rarely a missing policy. It was an operational breakdown.
Green Healthcare Consulting was created to bridge the gap between policy and daily practice. Drawing on decades of hospital experience, she developed a methodology that supports communication, staff education, sustainability practices, and regulatory readiness as connected parts of one system. We work with hospitals of varying size and tailor plans to staffing, culture, and available resources.
Our Commitment
Clients work directly with Cathleen from assessment through implementation, maintaining clear communication and consistent guidance. We work on-site and remotely alongside staff, managers, and leadership to understand daily operations and support practical change. Coaching and education occur during the process so teams build confidence while improvements are put in place.
Every recommendation includes defined ownership, timelines and measurable expectations. We stay engaged until processes function reliably during normal operations. Patient safety, confidentiality, and respect for clinical judgment remain central, with the goal of stable systems that staff can realistically maintain over time.

Cathleen met us on nights, walked the floors, and found fixes we could implement fast. Our team felt supported, not judged, and survey day was calm.
The audit wasn’t paperwork theater. We got clear actions, owners, and dates. Three months later, waste dropped, and staff finally had time back.
Her survey prep felt real. Mock tracers mirrored the pressure, and the documentation checklists were usable. We walked in ready, and it showed.
