Vail Health, a nonprofit community health system in Colorado, has significantly enhanced clinician productivity by integrating Microsoft's Dragon Copilot into their workflows. This AI-powered tool has streamlined documentation processes, allowing healthcare providers to complete patient notes more efficiently and accurately.
Dragon Copilot combines conversational and ambient AI with advanced generative AI to automate clinical documentation. It captures relevant patient data during encounters and organizes clinical advice into concise summaries, reducing the time clinicians spend on manual note-taking. This efficiency enables providers to focus more on patient care and less on administrative tasks.
Dr. Janet Engle, a pediatrician at Vail Health, shared her experience:
"Dragon Copilot has allowed me to really just get the most difficult parts of my note done in a quick time. I'm amazed at how it is able to capture the most relevant data for the visit, and the AI is actually able to only pick up the relevant history for the most part. I'm amazed at how it can organize advice that I'm giving throughout an encounter with a family and organize it into a pretty concise summary at the end of my visit."
The implementation of Dragon Copilot at Vail Health has led to several key benefits:
  • Enhanced Efficiency: Clinicians can complete documentation promptly, often before leaving for the day, improving work-life balance.
  • Customization: The tool offers advanced customization options for assessment and plan templates, allowing clinicians to tailor documentation to their specific workflow needs.
  • Improved Patient Care: By reducing administrative burdens, healthcare teams can devote more time to patient interactions, supporting better outcomes and satisfaction for both clinicians and patients.
Vail Health's adoption of Dragon Copilot exemplifies how AI-driven solutions can transform healthcare delivery by enhancing productivity and allowing clinicians to focus on what matters most—patient care.
