Clinical precision starts with more complete documentation
This blog is authored by Josh Waldo, Product Manager Every patient has a story, and that story deserves to be accurately reflected in the clinical documentation. Clinicians work hard to assess, diagnose, and care for patients, often while balancing complex cases, competing priorities, and limited time. While the diagnosis itself may be clear, the documentation does not always capture every detail that helps tell the full patient story. Important clinical information about severity, complexity, acuity, or related conditions may be discussed during the encounter but not fully reflected in the medical record. These details matter. Clinical documentation serves as the foundation for communication across care teams, supports quality reporting and care coordination, and provides an accurate record of the care delivered. Dragon Copilot helps clinicians create more complete documentation by identifying potential opportunities where additional specificity may be appropriate based on information already present within the encounter. This capability helps ensure that the documentation more fully reflects the clinician's assessment and the patient's clinical story. Rather than asking clinicians to remember every documentation requirement or revisit records after the encounter, Dragon Copilot can surface contextual suggestions that highlight where additional detail may strengthen the completeness of the note. For example, when documenting certain conditions, clinicians may receive suggestions that help capture additional clinically relevant details that were discussed during the visit and support a more complete description of the patient's condition. Importantly, these suggestions do not change a diagnosis, influence clinical decision-making, or replace clinician judgment. The clinician remains responsible for every diagnosis and every documentation decision. Dragon Copilot simply helps ensure that the documentation accurately reflects what the clinician already knows and has determined. Supporting better documentation without disrupting workflow Documentation quality should not require additional chart reviews, extensive research, or time-consuming follow-up work. Dragon Copilot is designed to fit naturally into existing clinical workflows, providing documentation support within the course of the encounter. By surfacing opportunities for greater specificity at the point of documentation, clinicians can address potential gaps in the moment rather than correcting them later. This may help reduce the need for downstream clarification requests from CDI and coding teams, saving time while improving the completeness of the medical record. Most importantly, clinicians remain in control. Suggestions are simply that suggestions. The clinician decides what is relevant, appropriate, and ultimately included in the note. Why more complete documentation matters Clinical documentation is used by many people beyond the author of the note. Physicians, nurses, specialists, care coordinators, coding professionals, quality teams, and healthcare organizations all rely on documentation to understand a patient's condition and the care that was provided. When documentation more fully reflects the clinician's assessment, it can support clearer communication across teams and a more consistent understanding of the patient's clinical status throughout the care journey. More complete documentation can also help organizations better reflect patient complexity, support quality initiatives, and reduce the administrative effort associated with documentation clarification and follow-up. For clinicians, that means less time spent revisiting notes and more confidence that the patient's story has been accurately captured in the record. AI that supports clinical expertise Dragon Copilot is built on a simple principle: AI should support clinical expertise, not replace it. Diagnosis specificity suggestions is built on a foundation of proven clinical AI innovation, informed by more than a decade of real-world healthcare experience. Drawing on years of clinician interactions and documentation insights, the feature is designed to surface meaningful opportunities for greater diagnostic specificity while fitting naturally into existing workflows. The technology does not diagnose patients, recommend treatments, or override clinical judgment. Instead, it acts as an intelligent assistant that helps clinicians identify opportunities to enhance documentation based on information already available during the encounter. By reducing some of the cognitive burden associated with documentation, Dragon Copilot allows clinicians to focus their attention where it matters most: caring for patients. Helping the right patient story reach the medical record Healthcare organizations continue to look for ways to improve documentation quality while reducing administrative burden. Achieving both goals requires technology that works alongside clinicians, helping them document care more efficiently without creating additional work. By helping clinicians capture greater detail within their existing workflows, Dragon Copilot supports more complete records, more accurate documentation, and a smoother documentation experience. Because better documentation is not about changing the diagnosis. It is about helping ensure that the right patient story is reflected in the medical record with greater clarity, completeness, and confidence.

With growing imaging volumes, increasing complexity, and the rapid emergence of AI, healthcare organizations are reevaluating how their reporting environments support clinicians and strengthen operational performance. They are faced with how to modernize without interrupting the work that matters most. We developed our PowerScribe One solution and implementation approach with that reality in mind. In active production across a wide range of healthcare environments (including large integrated delivery networks, academic medical centers, independent radiology practices, and community hospitals), PowerScribe One reflects a solution that is both proven in practice and designed for what comes next. Over 250 organizations and 10,000+ radiologists use PowerScribe One to generate millions of reports each month. This scale is significant; it’s validation of what we bring through our solution and support. It reflects a system and team tested across diverse environments, integration landscapes, and operational models, performing reliably in real-world conditions. Combining the strength of our solutions with an experienced Microsoft team, we deliver a seamless implementation that minimizes disruption. Redefining the migration experience As I’ve worked with customers modernizing their reporting environments, I’ve noticed a consistent pattern of concern: how to modernize without disrupting the workflows teams rely on or the care they deliver. In my experience, even when a solution offers meaningful capabilities, customers still worry about the potential downsides of a prolonged migration. I understand that perspective. Many have worked with vendors who promise a “lift-and-shift” implementation but fall short of that expectation. Migrations can introduce real challenges, including downtime, retraining, and workflow disruption. Over time, we’ve seen that successful transformation is driven not only by the strength of the technology, but also by how effectively the transition is managed. With years of experience supporting PowerScribe environments, we’ve taken those insights and applied them to our approach. We defined what a successful PowerScribe One implementation looks like and developed a migration model designed to reduce risk while supporting adoption. Rather than viewing migration as a single milestone, PowerScribe One transitions are designed as a structured journey with clearly defined phases and timing: Discovery: Align on goals, workflows, and integration requirements Build: Preparing the technical and operational foundation Testing: Validating workflows end to end and addressing issues proactively Production: Supporting go-live with a focus on stability and adoption Each phase includes checkpoints and shared accountability to increase transparency and reduce uncertainty. Our Microsoft team works closely with our customers to build a project timeline that fits their needs while existing PowerScribe 360 workflows and content are leveraged, eliminating the need to rebuild from scratch. I’d also like to highlight at the center of this migration model is a parallel transition strategy. We enable PowerScribe 360 and PowerScribe One to operate side-by-side during our customer’s migration period. This approach provides organizations with the flexibility to: Introduce PowerScribe One to early adopters Validate workflows and integrations in a live environment Phase adoption across teams Maintain continuity throughout the transition In this measured approach, our customers can move forward with confidence, ensuring that systems, workflows, and teams are ready for successful adoption. The result is a model that is both repeatable and adaptable, capable of supporting organizations with varying levels of complexity. Our efforts to center our implementation process on the customer experience shows how migration work is not simply a technical capability proposition. This focus reflects our broader philosophy: transformation should be deliberate, not disruptive. From implementation to enablement Minimizing disruption doesn’t end with implementation. It extends into how teams are supported, trained, and enabled in their day-to-day workflows. Our focus on enablement is especially important in radiology, where even small workflow disruptions can have outsized impacts on productivity and the radiologist experience. With PowerScribe One, organizations not only gain access to a modern reporting solution but also support from teams with deep experience in radiology workflows, integrations, and large-scale deployments. With that in mind, I’ve seen firsthand how the healthcare landscape has radically changed over the last six years. Our customers tell us how workforce shifts in radiology means they are adapting their staffing models and workflows to include telework. With these changes in the workforce, organizations benefit from training and support models that are flexible, digital, and accessible remotely. We made live expert access (known to our customers as “drop-in help”) easily accessible through a simple QR code. It can be an ad hoc or scheduled engagement which ensures the offering aligns with a radiologist’s schedule. The feedback on this level of access we’ve received has been extremely positive and is resonating strongly with customers. I know that for any healthcare solution deployment to be successful, it requires a learning and support model that aligns with clinical schedules and operational realities. Modernizing radiology reporting is both a technical and operational effort with its success depending on advancing capability without disrupting clinical continuity. The transition to PowerScribe One shows this balance is achievable through phased adoption, low-disruption deployment, and strong user readiness. Organizations can modernize without affecting day-to-day care delivery with our structured approach, proven expertise and a focus on provider experience and patient outcomes. If you want to learn more about our approach or PowerScribe One, I’ll be at SIIM26, June 10-12, please stop by the Microsoft booth at 630-632. You can also discover how we partner with our customers why they decided to move to PowerScribe One by reading our Industry Blog.
A Deeper Look at Microsoft Dragon Copilot: Transforming Clinical Workflow with AI
This week, we unveiled Microsoft Dragon Copilot, the first AI assistant for clinical workflow that brings together voice dictation, ambient AI, and new natural language capabilities into a single unified experience for clinicians. Microsoft Dragon Copilot combines the trusted natural language voice dictation capabilities of Dragon Medical One, which is trusted by over 600K clinicians around the world to document billions of patient records, and DAX Copilot ambient listening capabilities, which have assisted more than 3 million ambient patient encounters in the last month alone, into a new unified solution. For years, DAX Copilot and Dragon Medical One have delivered proven outcomes at scale across various care settings, enhancing patient experience and clinician well-being, while also improving operational efficiency and financial impact. We are especially proud that, in some cases, these improvements have inspired clinicians to continue practicing medicine and remain with their current healthcare organization. Transform the way clinicians work Dragon Copilot enables clinicians to streamline documentation with new levels of customization, surface information without leaving their workflow, and automate other workflow tasks with a single click: Streamline documentation and workflow with multiple modalities Dragon Copilot provides unparalleled flexibility in how work gets done with multiple modalities that allow clinicians to choose the best approach for their needs. This flexibility helps reduce the administrative burden across the care continuum, enabling clinicians to select the most efficient method based on their specific tasks and circumstances. The power of ambient: Clinicians can securely capture multiparty, multilingual patient-clinician conversations and convert them into comprehensive, specialty-specific notes. This allows clinicians to focus on patient care rather than screens, fostering a more personal and attentive connection. The power of natural language: Clinicians can interact with their documentation naturally – editing, querying, and even creating new content in natural language. This modality transforms the review process, enabling multiple updates at once to deliver further time savings. The power of voice dictation: Clinicians are often highly proficient using voice dictation for tasks such as documenting outside the patient visit and reviewing and navigating clinical content. Dragon's features and capabilities, such as voice commands, edit controls, and shortcuts like Step-by-step commands and AutoTexts, refined over two decades, enhance these processes, ensuring a truly personalized documentation workflow. Step-by-step commands allow clinicians to automate navigation and highly repeatable tasks performed within the EHR workflow by issuing a single command. AutoTexts enable clinicians to automate and integrate commonly used templates into their documentation. These customizations and voice commands are widely used by more than 600K Dragon Medical users today, with 140 million AutoTexts and 300 million voice skills and commands used annually. They will continue to be available in Dragon Copilot. New levels of customization Dragon Copilot allows clinicians to further customize their documentation, such as configuring the writing style and formatting of notes. Clinicians can define custom templates for capturing highly repeatable clinical information and even have those templates be updated automatically based on pertinent findings detected in the ambient conversation. Surface information without leaving your workflow Dragon Copilot provides access to relevant information when needed, from querying notes and getting medical information from certified content sources to receiving encounter recording suggestions. This ensures that clinicians can easily get the information they need without leaving their workflow. Automate tasks with a single click Dragon Copilot helps automate clinical and non-clinical tasks, such as summarizing notes and evidence, prepping orders, and drafting pre-defined referral letters and after-visit summaries. This saves time and increases clinician productivity and efficiency. Repeatable tasks Dragon Copilot enables clinicians to easily manage their own library of highly repeatable, custom tasks and trigger them when desired. Do more with Dragon Seamless modality selection Organizations often use a hybrid solution that combines ambient and speech recognition capabilities from separate products leading to an inconsistent user experience. With Dragon Copilot, clinicians can easily transition between voice dictation, ambient, and natural language across care settings and the clinical documentation workflow. Natural language prompt interface Dragon Copilot allows clinicians to speak naturally to edit, query, and create clinical documentation. This new and innovative prompt interface will allow us to rapidly bring new innovations to Dragon Copilot, such as enabling seamless access to clinical intelligence without disrupting workflow. Here are a few examples of how clinicians might use the prompt interface: Edit and append summaries: “Update the fever reading to 102” Generating: Success! Query encounter transcripts for information: “Was the patient experiencing ear pain?” Create new outputs: “Summarize the ear issues briefly for a referral to an otolaryngologist.” Meeting clinicians where they are Dragon Copilot is available across mobile, web, and desktop. It is fully integrated inside Epic and is compatible with all major EHRs. Manage prompts Dragon Copilot enables clinicians to easily create and reuse their favorite prompts for frequent tasks. Whether simple or complex, prompts help clinicians get the most out of our AI.

Clinicians are at the heart of patient care, and the documentation they create shapes how that care is delivered, interpreted, and continued. Nearly 70% of the global medical workforce—around 9 million practitioners, according to recent World Health Organization data—are specialists whose work spans a wide range of disciplines and care settings. As these specialties evolve, so do their documentation needs to ensure the highest quality and accurate care. Each specialty brings its own documentation requirements. Orthopedics relies heavily on imaging reports, physical exam findings, and procedural notes. Preventive Medicine, on the other hand, focuses on understanding the breadth of the patient’s conditions and proactive measures to promote health. Across care settings—from outpatient clinics to emergency departments to inpatient units—documentation also varies in its requirements. Accurate, specialty-specific documentation supports not only improved patient outcomes but also the broader healthcare ecosystem—from ensuring appropriate reimbursement to enabling clinical research and the development of more targeted treatments. When designed to meet the needs of specialists, documentation becomes more than a requirement—it becomes a tool for delivering better care. Purpose-built with clinicians Microsoft Dragon Copilot enhances the clinician experience by streamlining the creation of medical notes tailored to each specialty’s unique requirements. Powered by advanced natural language processing, Dragon Copilot recognizes and adapts to the specific needs of disparate medical fields. This enables clinicians to focus more on patient care and less on administrative work, enhancing both efficiency and satisfaction. Built for continuous learning and adaptation, Dragon Copilot helps specialists keep pace with the evolving clinical guidelines, medical standards, and billing requirements with Microsoft’s dedicated team of medical professionals including MD’s (Doctor of Medicine), RN’s (Registered Nurse), and APP’s (Advanced Practice Provider). In a field shaped by constant change, this agility helps to ensure documentation stays accurate and relevant. At the core of this innovation is Microsoft’s deep, daily engagement with clinicians using Dragon Copilot. Through a diverse network—physicians, advanced care practitioners, coders, and other healthcare professionals—Microsoft works directly with those on the front line of care. This network, and other early access participants, work alongside Microsoft’s in-house clinical experts and researchers to co-design, test, and refine Dragon Copilot. This close partnership brings real-world insight into the development process, helping us ensure Dragon Copilot aligns with the practical, specialty-specific needs of medical professionals. By embedding clinical knowledge and clinician feedback into each iteration, we deliver a solution that is not only clinically accurate but also intuitive and trusted. This is about more than building a better product experience—it is about fostering trust and ownership among clinicians with technology that fits naturally into their everyday practice, supports their expertise, and helps them deliver the highest quality care. The power of a specialty-optimized approach Dragon Copilot is built on a trusted core medical model, fine-tuned on millions of real-world patient encounters. From this core medical foundation, the model is then adapted and optimized for each specialty—integrating clinical experts’ knowledge and research, national association recommendations, and feedback from clinicians. This layered approach supports outputs that are not only medically accurate but also aligned with the documentation standards and workflows clinicians depend on in their daily practice. The system evolves with changes in clinical guidelines and inputs from practicing specialists. This iterative process keeps Dragon Copilot current, relevant, and reflective of both specialty-specific requirements and real-world practice. By aligning note content with specialty-specific standards, Dragon Copilot helps reduce cognitive load, minimize documentation errors, and shorten the time needed to complete and sign notes. The result is a more efficient workflow that enhances both the quality of care and patient data processing. “By teaming up with specialty providers, Microsoft has elevated the quality and accuracy of notes—making my documentation clearer, more robust yet concise, and significantly improving readability for both patients and fellow providers. Additionally, this update also greatly improved the capture of physical exam findings.” Eric Alford, M.D. Baylor Scott & White Health Consider ophthalmology: clinical guidelines in this specialty require documentation of complex decision-making—such as discussing lens implant options in a way that balances clinical appropriateness with individual patient preferences. Dragon Copilot helps to capture both, generating documentation that is structured and personalized to each unique patient encounter. Or take psychiatry: the mental status exam is a crucial component of the evaluation for informed decisions about the patient's treatment. Dragon Copilot supports by capturing this comprehensive assessment essential for tracking the patient's progress over time. Customization that reflects the art of medicine Specialty-specific notes are only part of the solution—clinician satisfaction and adoption rely on meaningful customization. Documentation is personal, and no two clinicians document the same way. Microsoft Dragon Copilot is designed with that in mind, offering customizable templates and flexible styles that align with individual preferences and workflows. “I think the potential of Dragon Copilot is going to be even greater as we start to bring in local vernacular, and the ability to help each doctor tune their note to their appropriate desires because one person's note that is too brief is another one that's too long for someone else”- R. Hal Baker, MD, SVP and CIO, Wellspan Health This level of personalization preserves each clinician’s unique voice while enhancing the accuracy, completeness, and efficiency of documentation. By bridging standardized requirements with specialty-specific content and individual style, Dragon Copilot supports a more seamless and effective documentation experience. Tailoring technology to meet the diverse needs of clinicians not only enhances satisfaction and adoption but contributes to better care delivery across the healthcare system. Trustworthy AI by design Microsoft Dragon Copilot is built on a secure data estate and incorporates healthcare-adapted clinical, chat and compliance safeguards for accurate and safe AI outputs. Dragon Copilot also aligns to Microsoft’s responsible AI principles to help guide AI development and use — transparency, reliability and safety, fairness, inclusiveness, accountability, privacy, and security. We invest in technical performance through regular assessments, building trust with medical professionals. This process looks for potential biases and errors, enabling timely corrections and continuous improvements across specialties. With a strong focus on inclusiveness, Dragon Copilot supports a wide range of medical practices and specialties, reflecting the diverse needs of clinicians and patients. By upholding these principles, Microsoft drives innovation while helping to safeguard the interests of both patients and healthcare providers. These commitments set a high standard for trustworthy AI in healthcare. Looking ahead Clinical documentation should tell the complete story of a patient’s care—clearly and comprehensively—for the stakeholders involved. We are excited to keep innovating around specialty-specific clinical documentation and beyond—and we want you to be part of it. Your feedback fuels our progress. Together, we can improve clinician well-being and keep the focus where it belongs: on patient care.
