Cerner Corporation CERN announced it has reached an agreement to acquire Resource Systems, developer of the CareTracker point-of-care electronic documentation system currently utilized by more than 3,000 organizations, primarily within skilled nursing and assisted living facilities. The acquisition is anticipated to close in May of 2011 and is not expected to have a material impact on Cerner's 2011 financial results. Triplett will join Cerner and help lead its growth in the long-term care market.
