Introduction
Dragon Copilot helps physicians spend less time documenting and more time engaging with patients. It works alongside you during and after patient encounters to support clinical documentation, without changing your clinical judgment or how you practice medicine.
In this unit, you’ll learn what Dragon Copilot is, where it fits into everyday clinical workflows, and why many physicians choose to use it.
What is Dragon Copilot?
Dragon Copilot is an AI‑powered clinical documentation assistant that supports physicians during patient encounters and documentation tasks. It helps capture and organize clinical information, while keeping physicians in full control of the final note. Dragon Copilot:
- Supports ambient documentation, dictation, and review workflows.
