CLEVELAND A new paper in the June issue of
New England Journal of Medicine Catalyst Innovations in Care Delivery describes how the University Hospitals (UH) system applied design-based thinking in a re-imagined process for referrals of patients from primary care physicians to psychiatrists in a value-based, high-reliability model.

As we move toward value-based payment models, high-reliability referral pathways will be of increasing importance in achieving better outcomes at lower cost, said Patrick Runnels, MD, Chief Medical Officer of Population Health and Behavioral Health at UH, Vice Chair of Psychiatry at Case Western Reserve University and lead author of the paper.
The First Saturday Arts Market is Houstonâs first outdoor art show that takes place every first Saturday of the month in the Heights. The market features a wide range of artists and their works of art, most of which includes fine art.
Market founder and manager Mitch Cohen and the First Saturday Arts Market artists will be celebrating their 17-year anniversary at this month s market, scheduled for 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday at 530 W. 19th St. Established in 2004, the market has seen many artists on the roster â many who have been with the market for several years.
âI often laugh that I never expected the market to survive our first Houston summer,â Cohen said. âEven after working the market all these years, I still absolutely love it. I think some of the reasons weâre still here is everyone loves a good time and the artists are fun, engaging and some of Houstonâs best.â
