Safe web search provides timely, evidence‑linked answers when your trusted clinical sources don’t contain the information you need. Results are delivered directly inside Dragon Copilot, so you can stay focused without leaving your workflow. Al web‑derived responses are clearly labelled, always making the source of the information transparent.
What makes safe web search "safe"?
Safe web search is only used after Dragon Copilot checks your trusted and selected clinical sources. When those sources can’t answer your question, you can choose to expand your search using safe web search. This ensures web content is used intentionally, transparently, and only when needed.
Clinical and security safeguards
-
Every web source undergoes evidence verification and clinical code validation.
-
HTTPS‑only: potentially unsafe HTTP websites are fully blocked.
-
SSL certificate checks: websites with invalid or expired certificates are excluded.
-
Provenance assurance: every response includes direct links to verified, up‑to‑date sources, making it clear where the information originated and allowing you to review the underlying evidence.
-
Safe web search uses Microsoft Bing’s built‑in protection mechanisms, to filter out harmful, non‑clinical, restricted, or unauthorized content sources.
PHI protection
-
Query minimization: only a short keyword query is sent—never full patient data or encounter text.
-
Identity removal: your user and organization identifiers are stripped before the query leaves the system boundary.
-
TLS encryption secures all transmitted traffic.
