Dragon Copilot ambient clinical documentation
Manchester University NHS deployed Dragon Copilot to hundreds of clinicians
Problem
Clinical documentation competed with time spent talking to patients. The trust sought to reduce that administrative burden.
Approach
The trust deployed Microsoft's Dragon Copilot ambient voice technology to hundreds of clinicians. It reported reduced documentation time and early feedback that clinicians could focus more fully on patient conversations.
Results
Takeaway
Clinicians described better attention to consultations. The trust did not quantify documentation savings for this deployment.
