Cerner is hatching plans to acquire Dynamic Healthcare Technologies of Lake Mary, FL, in a stock transaction valued at $2.2 million. The deal is expected to close before the end of this year, pending Dynamic shareholder and regulatory approvals. Dynamic provides clinical and diagnostic workflow software and Internet applications for pathology, laboratory, and radiology services to approximately 640 clients.
