The new functional champion appointment will assist the VA EHR Modernization program as it struggles with implementation delays and cost overruns, the VA stated.
The Department for Veterans Affairs (VA) has named David Massaro, MD, as a functional champion for its EHR Modernization program, according to reporting from FedScoop.
The industry leader started off his VA career in 2006 as a practicing physician for the Aleda E. Lutz VA Medical Center in Saginaw, Michigan.
As time went on, Massaro accepted new challenges and took on more executive positions, VA officials stated. Previously, he was the acting chief health informatics officer in the Office of Community Care within VA’s Office of Health Informatics.
