Results After using the smart cabinet, time spent on management of low-value MCs and satisfaction with the management were significantly enhanced (P＜0.01 for both), and zero-inventory was achieved in the ward. Conclusion Management of low-value MCs using the smart cabinet in the hospital ward effectively improves management efficiency and satisfaction of consumables ma-nagement.
