Katherine Owen is a senior healthcare executive and nurse leader with over 20 years of experience driving clinical operations, patient safety, and care transformation across acute care, ambulatory, and surgical settings.
Throughout her career, Katherine has built a reputation for translating frontline clinical realities into scalable system solutions. She has led large, complex teams, implemented enterprise safety and quality programs, and designed innovative care models that elevate care to the top of license while improving outcomes and operational efficiency. Her work includes establishing centralized triage models, launching system-wide patient safety infrastructure, and implementing clinical best practices that have significantly improved performance across organizations.
Katherine began her career at Parkland Health & Hospital System, where she contributed to major care delivery innovations, including expanding access to specialty services and supporting the operationalization of high-impact programs such as outpatient antimicrobial therapy (OPAT). She has also held leadership roles in inpatient hospital settings and ambulatory surgery centers, where she led high-performing teams and drove measurable improvements in throughput, patient experience, and operational efficiency.
She is the Founder and CEO of CarePath Continuum, a health technology company focused on solving one of healthcare’s most overlooked challenges: execution after discharge. CarePath extends nurse-led governance beyond the hospital setting, ensuring that care plans are not only created—but followed. By introducing structured workflows, real-time patient engagement, and a novel Execution Reliability Score (ERS), CarePath brings visibility and accountability to the critical 30-day post-discharge period.
Katherine’s work is grounded in a simple but powerful belief: care does not end at discharge—and outcomes depend on what happens next.
