Mr. Roth is chief strategic innovation officer at CommonSpirit Health, where he has led systemwide innovation for more than a decade with an emphasis on collaboration and scalable adoption. Since 2020, he has guided development of a behavioral health strategy spanning the continuum from outpatient through acute care, including clear role delineation between internal providers and external partners. Under this model, CommonSpirit established a centralized behavioral health call center to assess and triage patients into appropriate services, including collaborative care in primary care and programs addressing serious mental illness, eating disorders and acute psychiatric care. Mr. Roth helped expand an integrated behavioral health partnership with Concert Health that supported more than 8,900 patients across 52 sites and delivered Patient Health Questionnaire-9 clinical improvement in approximately 50% of patients. He has also driven broader enterprise use of generative AI, expanding from chat and call center workflows into inpatient, emergency department and supply chain operations. The AI real-time communication partnership has served 2.7 million patients, delivering double-digit patient experience gains and reductions in “left without being seen,” alongside additional AI-enabled supply chain savings.
