Cerner Corporation (CERN) POSITIVES:Satisfying "meaningful use" requirements imposed by the U.S. government are driving health-care providers to Cerner because a number of competitors are struggling to keep up with the technological requirements needed to fulfill such requirements. Possible concerns:Very large companies such as General Electric, IBM, Microsoft, and Siemens have targeted the HCIT market for growth, which could pose a competitive threat to Cerner.
