After a year of public availability, Microsoft unveiled DAX Copilot, the first voice-enabled generative AI solution. As a component of a well-proven and expandable platform, DAX Copilot makes the most of health systems’ current investments in the reliable Dragon Medical solution family, which is utilized by more than 600,000 physicians globally.
With the help of generative AI and proven conversational and ambient AI, DAX Copilot automatically transforms multiparty interactions into standardized draft clinical summaries tailored to a particular specialization and can be integrated with current procedures. Clinicians may now easily record patient visits right inside the Epic electronic health record (EHR) with DAX Copilot, the first ambient solution to be integrated into the EHR workflow. More than 400 organizations nationwide have already adopted its ground-breaking features, which simplify administrative labor and reduce the amount of documentation that professionals must complete.
This ground-breaking year has brought to light a number of the ways it is currently empowering healthcare teams and helping thousands of physicians rediscover the joy of practicing medicine.
Increasing Healthcare Accessibility and Improving Documentation Quality
With clinicians use DAX Copilot in at least 50% of patient contacts and being able to see an average of 11.3 extra patients per month, Northwestern Medicine in Chicago is assisting in improving patient access to care. Users of DAX Copilot at Northwestern Medicine also report working late into the night on administrative activities, cutting down on “pajama time” by 17% and taking notes for an average of 24% less time.
DAX Copilot was used by Overlake Medical Center & Clinics in Bellevue, Washington, to help cut down on after-hours documentation time and give its physicians the resources they need to handle growing demands. The amount of time spent on notes beyond regular business hours was significantly reduced in a trial involving thirty Overlake doctors. Other significant advantages were also mentioned by users: 81% stated that DAX Copilot had lessened their cognitive load, and 77% stated that the program had enhanced the caliber of their documentation.
Improving the Welfare of Clinicians
During pediatric visits, DAX Copilot can distinguish between parents and children by precisely identifying the different voices in the room. This allows it to accurately record the patient exam note, which the doctor can then check and approve.
The ability of Community Health Network’s clinicians to close notes before they leave for the day has significantly improved since DAX Copilot was implemented. The organization places a high priority on the well-being of its physicians.
For the clinicians who are already using this industry-leading technology, it is a privilege to witness the significant difference it makes, but the effort never ends. By utilizing AI’s promise and capability, the Microsoft healthcare team hopes to continue addressing some of the most difficult problems facing the sector. It is committed to being at the forefront of innovation, working with its amazing partners, customers, and Microsoft researchers to create a significant impact in clinical settings.
DAX Copilot is a cutting-edge solution that offers special features including orders, problem-based charting, and pre-charting capabilities. It goes beyond documentation. Recent versions to DAX Copilot, for instance, come with a wide range of features, including the capacity to personalize the layout and style of the documentation as well as the automatic creation of referral letters, diagnostic evidence, after-visit summaries, and encounter summaries. In order to assist users in enhancing the caliber and thoroughness of their notes, the service now provides AI coaching. Additionally, by incorporating insights that go beyond evidence linkage, the new Summarized Evidence feature offers a thorough and nuanced approach that aids physicians in validating and trusting the note output.
Crucially, Microsoft feels that companies must make sure the technology is used appropriately when developing innovations that have the power to alter the world. Microsoft is dedicated to developing ethical AI through design, which is informed by a fundamental set of values: inclusivity, responsibility, privacy and security, dependability and safety, and fairness.
