Dragon Copilot employs a sophisticated medical AI model to generate clinical documentation summaries from the transcript of recordings created by clinicians. Dedicated clinical integrity teams continuously monitor and refine the model for accuracy and effectiveness.

In April 2025, we began to introduce specialty-specific AI enhancements to meet your medical community’s unique documentation requirements and improve the overall quality of your clinical documentation. (NOTE: These enhancements also apply to DAX Copilot.)

Benefits of summaries generated by the specialty AI models:

  • The HPI summary includes specialty-specific content captured when recording.

  • The Physical Exam summary includes required specialty-specific subheadings and findings.

  • Results appear in the appropriate summary sections(s) depending on the source of the information and specialty requirements.

  • The Assessment and Plan summary provides precision terminology required for specialty specific diagnosis and treatments.

  • Past procedures appear in the appropriate summary section(s) depending on the source of the information.

Important: Select the "No format change" style option in Settings > Style & format for any section that you want to generate in specialty-specific format. No format change is the default option for new users. 

Verify your Primary specialty setting

Your Primary specialty determines the AI model used to generate the clinical summaries for your note. If you modify your Primary specialty, the new model will apply the next time a summary generates.

  1. Select the Settings icon.

  2. Select Profile.

  3. Verify that your Primary specialty is correct or select an appropriate specialty from the options in the drop-down list.

  • Your selection is automatically saved.

  • At this time, the Secondary specialty setting does not affect the generated clinical summaries.

Tips: 

  • Apply best practices for ambient recording to ensure the transcript of your encounter recordings is as accurate and complete as possible. This will improve the quality of your generated summaries (and reduce your editing time).

  • Review the default output for your specialty, then consider applying additional style options and customizable templates (either automatically or manually), or AI capabilities to further personalize and enhance your clinical summaries.

  • We value your feedback. Select the Note feedback icon  The feedback icon in the Note tab in Dragon Copilot. in the Note tab to share your comments and help us improve the generated summaries for your specialty.
