Microsoft extends AI advancements in Dragon Copilot to nurses and partners to enhance patient care

Dragon Copilot advances clinical intelligence at the point of care with partner AI innovations
Clinicians and the healthcare provider organizations they work for will have access to specialized capabilities without leaving their native workflow by enabling partners to develop AI apps and agents that customers can enable directly in the AI clinical assistant.
Research shows that over half of family medicine visits involve multiple issues, with physicians managing an average of 2.7 concerns and performing eight actions — such as ordering tests, prescribing medication and making referrals — per encounter. Clinicians also handle prior authorizations and coding, while healthcare organizations update CRMs, track referrals, and manage patient engagement through education and surveys. With visits averaging just 15 minutes, this administrative load can compromise care quality and revenue integrity.
To address these challenges,
-
Trusted clinical insights: Clinicians need reliable, evidence-based information to make informed decisions quickly. Through partnerships with
Elsevier ,OpenEvidence and Wolters Kluwer UpToDate, Dragon Copilot will provide access to curated clinical content directly within the workflow. Beyond credible reference content, other partners will extend these capabilities to drive smarter, faster decisions through solutions like clinical decision support withAtropos Health , vocal biomarker analysis with Canary Speech, clinical insights to manage at-risk patient populations withLightbeam Health Solutions and addressing care gaps with Pangaea Data. -
Streamlining revenue cycle management: Access to applications that help streamline and automate critical revenue cycle processes such as revenue cycle intelligence with Ensemble and Regard, and prior authorization with
Cohere Health ,Humata Health and Rhyme, in addition to precision care economics at the point-of-care with RhythmX AI, can help reduce administrative complexity and improve patient experiences. -
Enhancing patient experience: Patient engagement doesn't end at the point of care.
Press Ganey will leverage Dragon Copilot's ambient listening to turn patient-clinician conversations into actionable insights — combining real-time dialogue with patient experience data to help healthcare organizations anticipate patient needs, reduce clinician burden, and create more connected, human-centered care experiences. - Integrating smart hospitals and virtual care: Partners such as Artisight and hellocare.ai are exploring how voice and other contextual data from clinical interactions captured by AI-driven smart hospital and virtual care platforms can be converted into documentation aligned with standard Dragon Copilot workflows.
These advancements represent the next wave of capabilities designed to enhance care delivery, improve efficiency and elevate the patient experience.
Select early adopters are already exploring these capabilities. Canary Speech, for example, is currently available in preview, with organizations like

Building on this momentum,
Reducing nurse burnout and improving patient experience through the industry's first generally available commercial ambient AI solution for nursing
Amid growing demands and mounting pressures in healthcare settings, nurses are facing unprecedented challenges that impact both their well-being and their ability to deliver care. A recent survey found that 65% of nurses report high levels of stress and burnout, and another survey found that more than 25% of a nurse's shift is consumed by documentation and administrative tasks.1
Dragon Copilot now equips nurses with an advanced suite of tailored, ambient-enabled AI capabilities that streamline documentation, surface clinical insights and automate routine tasks directly within their workflow:
- Streamline documentation: Nurse-patient interactions are ambiently captured at the point of care or on the go, then intelligently transformed into flowsheet documentation that, once reviewed and approved by the nurse, can be seamlessly transferred into the Electronic Health Record (EHR) — reducing administrative burden and freeing up time for direct patient care. Nurses can pause while recording to preview what's been captured and edit for accuracy, and access organization-provided guidance within the workflow to stay aligned with internal policies before filing documentation into the EHR.
- Surface information: Nurses can seamlessly access trusted medical content resources within the workflow, reducing tab-hopping and elevating care quality.
- Automate tasks: AI takes on routine tasks, enabling nurses to more efficiently draft notes and summarize patient interactions — reducing clicks, accelerating documentation and closing the loop faster.
These innovations are a direct result of
