FRISCO, Texas and TEMPE, Ariz., Jan. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — AllyGPO® and BioCareSD®, a strategic partnership serving community-based specialty practices, today announced that Retina Associates of Cleveland, Inc (RACI) has selected BioCareSD for specialty distribution (SD) and AllyGPO for group purchasing organization (GPO) services. This relationship expands AllyGPO and BioCareSD’s growing national footprint in community retina and reflects increasing demand for alternative GPO and SD options that offer more transparent, technology-enabled drug management.

Founded in 1974 and celebrating more than 50 years of patient care, RACI is widely regarded as one of Ohio’s premier retina specialty practices. The practice is known for its leadership in clinical research and expertise in advanced treatments for age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal tears and detachments, and other complex retinal conditions.

“Maintaining our independence is central to how RACI cares for patients, and we value partners who support this,” said President of RACI David G. Miller, MD. “BioCareSD and AllyGPO, through consistent actions and collaboration, have demonstrated their genuine commitment to preserving community retina practice independence in meaningful, practical ways. Choosing to partner with them enables RACI to better manage day-to-day operational and financial demands while securing long-term resilience with more efficient workflows and greater visibility from data-driven analytics.”

AllyGPO and BioCareSD provide RACI with high-touch specialty distribution and GPO services designed specifically for modern community retina practices. Key considerations in RACI’s decision included supply reliability, transparency in drug pricing, more timely, accurate GPO contract rebates, and responsive, consultative support from a dedicated retina team that works closely with clinical and administrative teams.

Another differentiator was AllyGPO and BioCareSD’s technology-forward approach, including AllyIQ®, AllyGPO’s comprehensive specialty drug management platform. By integrating data from practices’ core operational systems and BioCareSD’s ordering site, AllyIQ supports informed decision making with clear, actionable insights into purchasing, inventory, and utilization.

“RACI exemplifies the kind of physician-led practice that AllyGPO was built to serve,” remarked Brian Ansay, CEO of AllyGPO. “Our role as a GPO is to provide insight and hands-on support that helps members navigate complexity, confidently make data-driven decisions, and firmly remain in control of their future.”

“Retina Associates of Cleveland is a highly respected practice with a longstanding reputation for clinical excellence and physician leadership,” said Jennifer Waters, SVP of Retina at BioCareSD. “Their decision to partner with us reinforces that the market is seeking more transparent, flexible, and technology-enabled distribution and GPO partners built specifically around the needs of community retina practices.” 

The addition of RACI reflects AllyGPO and BioCareSD’s continued growth in community retina, as practices seek support in navigating rising drug costs, payer pressures, new biosimilar introductions, increasing administrative complexity, and distributors’ acquisition of practices.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
