A few shared terms can make Dragon Copilot conversations much easier. Start with these definitions, then confirm how each one applies to your team and setup.
Ambient clinical documentation
A workflow in which technology supports documentation from the clinical encounter with less dependence on continuous manual entry. The clinician remains responsible for reviewing and completing the clinical record.
Voice dictation
A workflow where the user deliberately speaks text or commands. Ambient documentation and direct dictation can support different moments in a clinician’s work and should not automatically be treated as interchangeable.
Draft and review
Generated documentation should be understood as a draft within a controlled workflow. Define how clinicians review, edit, approve, and complete documentation in the systems they use.
Workflow fit
The degree to which a solution supports the real sequence of clinical tasks, devices, locations, users, and handoffs. Workflow fit is best evaluated with representative clinicians and scenarios.
Integration
The technical and operational connections between the solution and the surrounding clinical environment. Discovery may include identity, applications, devices, data flow, security, and support ownership.
Pilot and adoption
A pilot is a defined learning period. Adoption is the longer-term process of incorporating the workflow into routine use. Each requires clear ownership, training, support, measurement, and feedback.
