Intelliguard, a leader in RFID-enabled medication inventory management, today announced expanded size and configuration options for its Mira Care™ Inventory Cabinet, giving hospitals and health systems greater flexibility to manage medication inventory across a wider range of healthcare settings.

Developed in partnership with Accucold, the RFID-enabled, temperature-controlled cabinet will be available in a range of sizes—including a small “on counter” option that can hold 200 medications, a larger “below counter” option that can hold 400 medications, and a 15-cubic-foot standalone unit that can safely hold 800 medications—with configurations featuring an integrated touchscreen interface and options without one.

As healthcare systems manage rising drug costs, increasingly distributed care delivery, and growing demands for medication inventory accuracy, visibility cannot stop at the central pharmacy. High-value medications stored in satellite locations, outpatient facilities, oncology centers, and remote areas can be more difficult to track and manage consistently.

According to the American Hospital Association, outpatient visits increased 9.8% in 2025, reflecting the continued shift toward outpatient and ambulatory care. At the same time, hospital drug expenses rose 13.6%, driven in part by the growing use of high-cost therapies, including oncology and specialty medications. These trends underscore the need for healthcare organizations to maintain better oversight of medication inventory, availability, and storage conditions across their operations.

“Healthcare organizations don’t manage medication inventory in just one place, and their technology shouldn’t be limited to one environment,” said Jeff Harper, Chief Product Officer at Intelliguard. “We work collaboratively with clients to understand their operational challenges and develop capabilities that address real-world needs. Our partnership with Southlake Health in Canada helped inform the expanded Mira Care Inventory Cabinet options. By offering multiple sizes and configurations, we can help organizations bring more consistent medication inventory management to the locations where high-value medications are stored and managed.”

The range of cabinet sizes and optional touchscreen interface gives healthcare organizations flexibility to select configurations suited to their environments while extending a consistent approach to medication inventory management across facilities.

Ultimately, pharmacy teams maintain greater visibility into:

  • Medication location and movement: Understand where medications are stored and how inventory moves through the organization.

  • Expiration status: Identify medications approaching expiration to support proactive inventory management and waste reduction.

  • Recall exposure: Improve visibility into inventory that may be affected by national drug recalls.

  • Inventory security and accountability: Track medication access and removal with detailed audit trails to support regulatory compliance, deter diversion, investigate discrepancies, and protect against financial losses.

  • Temperature data: Monitor temperature information to support oversight of high-value, temperature-sensitive medications.

By integrating RFID-enabled inventory management directly into the refrigerator, the Mira Care Inventory Cabinet helps healthcare organizations connect temperature-controlled storage with the broader medication inventory management process. These capabilities can support more informed decisions about inventory utilization, medication availability, and operational oversight across healthcare environments.

The cabinet is part of Intelliguard’s Mira Ecosystem™, which connects RFID-enabled medication inventory management, workflow automation, and actionable intelligence to give healthcare organizations greater visibility and control over their medication inventory. By extending these capabilities into additional storage and clinical care environments, Intelliguard helps health systems build a more complete picture of what medications they have, where they are, and how to manage them more effectively across their operations.

Pharmacy leaders and healthcare decision-makers attending the ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting and Exhibition can see three of the Mira Care Inventory Cabinet sizes and available configurations at Booth #1149, December 7–9, 2026, in Orlando, Florida.
