OncoLens delivers software solutions that help cancer centers more efficiently conduct multi-specialty cancer case reviews and achieve Commission on Cancer (CoC), National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC), or National Accreditation Program for Rectal Cancer (NAPRC) accreditations.

“With the growing number of complex cancer cases and pressure for hospitals to improve patient outcomes, OncoLens allows cancer centers to reduce the time and resources it takes for multi-disciplinary case collaboration, early identification of precision medicine-based solutions, and relevant clinical trials for patients,” said Mark Buffington, CEO and co-founder of BIP Capital. “We’ve seen tremendous uptick in the OncoLens business over the past year, including rapid market adoption and significant product line growth. We’re proud to partner with OncoLens and view it as one of the top emerging healthcare companies in the Southeast.”

It automatically matches the patient with relevant clinical trials and potential targeted therapies while also providing quality improvement considerations for the care team. Centers benefit further through data analytics, care coordination, and the platform’s reporting capabilities.

“At OncoLens, our passion is to empower those who diagnose and treat cancer patients with technology and data which can ultimately improve the outcomes of the growing population of cancer patients,” said Anju Mathew, OncoLens co-founder and CEO. “This investment round will not only help us continue to expand the capabilities of our solutions but will also assist us in growing our sales and marketing resources so more cancer centers know about and can benefit from OncoLens.”

The Wilson Agency and Albers & Company are changing their name and brand as part of the ongoing evolution of the company. The firm will now be known as Wilson Albers, an Alera Group Company. Alera Group acquired the two firms along with ConnectHR in early 2018.

The work these two firms have been doing to integrate the companies, along with becoming Alera Group companies, is complete and reflected in the new branding.

“As the face of Alera Group in Anchorage, AK and Tacoma, WA, we’re more than a local firm with local resources,” says Lon Wilson, Managing Partner of Wilson Albers, an Alera Group Company. “We’re backed by the power of more than 80+ locations across the United States, with industry-leading experts and the resources of a national firm.”

As an Alera Group company, the firm is able to offer the resources, technical expertise and best practices of a large national firm, while maintaining their personalized service and local relationships. The innovative culture of Alera Group allows Wilson Albers to collaborate with national partners to expertly meet clients’ unique needs.

In addition, ConnectHR – focused on providing strategic hands-on HR support to local businesses – will take this opportunity to update the branding to Alera ConnectHR.
