Widespread rollout of DAX Copilot aligns with the health system's mission to identify innovations that improve health outcomes and experiences for patients. BURLINGTON, Mass. , Aug.
15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Nuance Communications , a Microsoft company, announced Thursday that Northwestern Medicine has selected Dragon ® Ambient eXperience TM (DAX TM ) Copilot embedded in Epic as its ambient voice solution and is deploying it within its enterprise. Amplified by the power and scale of Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare, DAX Copilot is enabling physicians at Northwestern Medicine to turn their conversations with patients into a powerful productivity tool to reduce administrative burdens associated with clinical documentation and help improve overall patient experiences. In 2023, approximately 53% of physicians reported feeling burned out ( The Institute for Functional Medicine ).
Additionally, research from the KLAS Arch Collaborative found that physicians at academic medical centers are the second-most burned out, as these organizations have more complex workflows that increase stress and after-hours documentation ( Understanding & Addressing Trends in Physician & Nurse Burnout 2024 ). DAX Copilot allows Northwestern Medicine physicians to automate clinical documentation and streamline repetitive, time-consuming tasks. This solution aligns with the health system's commitment to leveraging innovative technologies to support its academic, research and administrative functions.
