EHR giant Cerner is now one step closer to completing its pending acquisition of Siemens Health Services, after the Federal Trade Commission gave the go ahead to an early termination of the deal's waiting period under antitrust laws.  

 

The acquisition, still subject to other closing conditions, remains on course for a first quarter 2015 closure, officials noted. Cerner, which announced its acquisition plans back in August, will purchase the Siemens Health Services for $1.3 billion in cash.
