Patient Flow Engineering
Smarter Healthcare Operations. Measurable Results.
At St. Onge, we use data, analytics, and proven engineering strategies to help hospitals and healthcare systems of all sizes improve performance, reduce costs, and enhance patient and staff experiences. We understand the unique challenges of today’s healthcare environment—tight margins, shifting payment models, and increasing demand, and we deliver solutions that address both clinical quality and operational efficiency.
How We Help
We work across departments and service lines to uncover and implement opportunities for improvement, offering support from concept through execution and facilitating data-driven decision making. Our services include:
- Patient Flow – Streamlining care pathways to reduce delays, increase efficiencies, and improve patient experience.
- Operational Assessments – Evaluating clinical operations to identify high-impact improvements across emergency services, perioperative care, radiology, and more, to reduce wait times, shorten stays, and increase capacities.
- Staff Flow – Optimizing how staff move and work to boost efficiency, increase time with patients, reduce burnout, and improve staff retention.
- Capacity Analysis – Aligning space, time, and equipment with patient needs to maximize resource use and balance staff utilizations.
- Decision Support – Using advanced tools and data collection methods to accurately model operations to guide smarter, future-focused decisions.
Why It Works
Our approach blends clinical understanding with engineering discipline. We don’t just focus on single departments, we look at the full system, breaking down silos to uncover the biggest opportunities. With our expertise in data analysis, simulation, and real-time data, we offer actionable insights that lead to measurable results, from better patient outcomes to improved financial performance.
