Vermont Information Technology Leaders, which operates a statewide health information exchange, has named David Cochran, M.D., as president and CEO. He succeeds Greg Farnum, who resigned in March to become a consultant for HIEs.



Cochran most recently has been a consultant since leaving Massachusetts-based Harvard Pilgrim Health Care last year. Aside from a 1997-98 stint as chief medical officer at Lexant Corp., he served in multiple positions at Harvard Pilgrim from 1984 to 2008, ending as senior vice president of strategic development.



Cochran was an intern in internal medicine, then a resident in primary care from 1979-82 at hospitals affiliated with UC San Francisco. He then had hospital appointments until 1997 at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Beth Israel Hospital in Boston. He will start at Vermont Information Technology Leaders in early July.
