Microsoft on Thursday said it will launch its artificial intelligence tool for automating clinical documentation within health records software made by Epic, a move to embed the technology in health systems nationwide.
The AI product, known as DAX Copilot, will automatically draft notes through Epic’s mobile application, known as Haiku, making it available for immediate review by clinicians. The tool is designed to streamline clinician note taking, a laborious process that has become a common source of complaint within health systems.
DAX Copilot is already used by hundreds of hospitals and clinics, but its availability through Epic significantly expands its reach and availability to potential users. Epic is the nation’s largest seller of software used to record and analyze patient health records.
