Dragon Copilot core capabilities
Dragon Copilot is Microsoft's AI assistant for clinical workflow.
It combines trusted speech technologies with AI capabilities to support clinicians throughout the patient encounter and documentation process.
Think of Dragon Copilot as an assistant that helps clinicians capture, organize, and interact with clinical information more efficiently. The assistant writes notes and patient letters, automatically applies templates and customization, and seamlessly transfers the information to the patient record for clinician's sign out.
Dragon Copilot works throughout the care journey
Dragon Copilot supports clinicians across the care journey while keeping them in control of clinical decisions and final documentation.
Before the visit
Dragon Copilot helps clinicians find, review, and summarize relevant patient information. Clinicians can use natural-language prompts to ask questions and quickly prepare for the encounter.
In practice: Before seeing a patient with diabetes and hypertension, the clinician uses Dragon Copilot to prechart based on information already reviewed, such as recent test results, current medications, relevant details from previous medical records, and family history.
Benefit: The clinician spends less time searching records and more time preparing for care.
During the visit
Dragon Copilot captures relevant details from the clinical conversation and organizes the information as the visit progresses.
Clinicians can use natural-language prompts to retrieve information, request summaries, and get answers without leaving their workflow.
Dragon Copilot handles routine capture and organization so clinicians can listen, ask questions, and focus on the patient.
In practice: During a patient visit, Dragon Copilot captures symptoms, medications, and treatment progress from the conversation and automatically pulls that into note sections and templates, ready when the physician needs it.
Benefit: The physician’s manual documentation is reduced so they can pay more attention to the patient.
After the visit
Dragon Copilot generates draft notes, summaries, referral letters, patient instructions, and other clinical content. It applies templates and customizations, then (where configured) transfers the documentation to the patient record for physician review and approval.
In practice: Instead of writing a progress note from scratch, the physician reviews and refines a structured draft created from the encounter. The documentation is generated based on the physician’s templates, preferences, and specialty.
Benefits
Efficiency. Dragon Copilot speeds up documentation, streamlines follow-up tasks, and reduces administrative burden.
Physician control. The physician has review-ready documentation to review, when and where they need it. The physician evaluates patient information, makes clinical decisions, and approves documents content all in one application.
Key takeaway
Dragon Copilot streamlines documentation and workflow tasks. Clinicians make clinical decisions and approve all final content when and where they need it.
