Innovation in Community Oncology
The healthcare landscape is witnessing a significant shift with technology driving progress. At the 2025 Community Oncology Alliance (COA) Annual Meeting held in Orlando, Florida, two outstanding organizations, AllyGPO and BioCareSD, displayed how their partnership is setting a new standard in community oncology. They are redefining how independent oncology practices can operate more efficiently by integrating advanced technologies into their workflows. Cooperatively, they are empowering these practices to enhance their productivity and financial stability, thereby ensuring the continuation of community-based cancer care.
AllyIQ: A Groundbreaking Platform
Central to this initiative is AllyIQ, AllyGPO's robust specialty drug management platform tailored specifically for community oncology. By seamlessly merging role-based workflows and pioneering smart drug cabinet technology, AllyIQ is transforming drug management practices. The platform delivers powerful business intelligence, helping oncology practices to better manage their inventory and improve participation in group purchasing organization contracts.
Stuart McMahan, Chief Information Officer at AllyGPO, emphasizes that AllyIQ embodies the organization's commitment to technological advancement in oncology. He notes, "We are actively assisting practices in the optimization of drug management and the alleviation of administrative burdens. The growing adoption of AllyIQ among our members highlights the significant value of our collaborative development approach."

Their technologically advanced logistics, combined with sustainable, temperature-regulated packaging, ensures timely and efficient delivery of essential cancer therapies, all while adhering to stringent quality standards and minimizing environmental impact.
Cory Shouse, Chief Information Officer at BioCare, shares, "Our aim is to reshape specialty drug distribution, and our forward-thinking system incorporates sustainable practices. This methodology guarantees that oncology practices receive the right medications promptly and reliably, which is crucial for today's healthcare environment."
Seamless Systems Integration
Furthermore, AllyIQ integrates smoothly with BioCareSD's drug ordering interface, along with existing electronic health record and practice management systems. This integration delivers precise analytics regarding medication usage and associated economics.
What sets both AllyGPO and BioCareSD apart is their strategic investment in cloud-native platforms, constructed from scratch with modern community practices in mind. McMahan highlights, "With no legacy technology burden, we possess remarkable flexibility to address specific practice needs swiftly. In emergencies or evolving market conditions, we can introduce solutions in a fraction of the time typically seen in the sector."
