About Upwards
Dr. Tabitha Hapeman started her career in nursing in 2009. After discovering case management and utilization review, she began her leadership journey in 2012. Since then, she has built teams, designed processes, and worked to help healthcare organizations maximize their revenue. She earned her doctorate in nursing in 2022 and is also a licensed and certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner.
She combines her love of psychology and leadership development to offer customized solutions to help businesses grow. She understands the psychology of people, leadership, and organizational culture. She has created and facilitated leadership development courses and designs personalized solutions to help businesses develop positive culture. Cultural consulting services are available to all businesses – no matter the industry, culture is key.
Having seen how challenging post-pandemic recovery has been for hospital revenue cycles, she decided to use her expertise and experience to develop personalized solutions for hospitals and healthcare systems. She and her team of subject matter experts will design a road map to help you grow your revenue and achieve your growth goals.
