3. Simplifying patient information capture and search
Query notes
Find the information you need quickly, such as prescribed drugs, patient family history, and other conversation details. Dragon Copilot utilizes conversation transcripts and notes in response to your requests.
Get reliable medical information
Clinicians can access a wide variety of medical information and clinical topics, whether they wish to review the current protocols for treating a particular condition or review drug interactions. Dragon Copilot employs grounded AI with citations to provide confidence in its responses.
Get ideas to improve encounter recordings
Take more comprehensive notes with Dragon Copilot. It analyzes the transcript and gives suggestions allowing clinicians to capture certain information, including temperature, BMI, and family history.
Utilize conversational data
Gain insights at scale with Dragon Copilot. Leverage point-of-care data to gain greater insights into usage and adoption, and support enhanced research, patient care, engagement, outreach, and more.
4. Automating healthcare tasks to save time
Streamline ordering
Collect more than a dozen types of orders automatically while communicating with the patient. Through supported electronic health records (EHRs) like Epic, orders are directly entered into the EHR order module.
Sum up notes
Instantly get an overview of each meeting, encompassing essential facts and information, simplifying workflow, and minimizing mental load. Dragon Copilot makes it convenient to quickly brush up on the patient details prior to completing a note.
Summarize evidence
Get more than merely linked notes to transcripts. Dragon Copilot gathers diagnosis evidence from subjective data like symptoms, objective data like labs and imaging, and other pertinent information communicated during the meeting.
Create referral letters
Dragon Copilot rapidly creates a referral letter from clinical notes based on information collected during a consultation. It extracts important details such as medical history, services requested, and relevant test or imaging findings, and reuses them for the letter.
Generate after-visit summaries
Dragon Copilot translates clinical documentation from consultations into written patient-friendly after-visit summaries, offering a convenient reference for clinical highlights and important instructions.
Incorporate Microsoft Dragon Copilot with your healthcare operations
Time is everything in the fast-paced world of healthcare. Doctors, nurses, and administrative staff cope with a non-stop stream of patient information, documentation, and compliance work all while working toward providing the highest quality care. But suppose it was possible that technology could remove some of the burden and leave healthcare providers free to spend their time on what counts the most – patients.
Dragon Copilot is built on a secure data foundation and includes tailored clinical, chat, and compliance safeguards in healthcare – ensuring AI outputs are both accurate and safe. These capabilities are aligned with Microsoft’s responsible AI principles, covering everything from transparency and fairness to privacy and security.
