What is Dragon Copilot?

Dragon Copilot is your AI clinical assistant, purpose-built for nurses. It captures care in real time with ambient flowsheet documentation in Epic Rover, helping you reduce administrative burden and streamline workflows—so you can spend more time on patient care and less time charting. 

After recording, the Dragon Copilot standalone application for desktop and web unlocks additional AI capabilities that help streamline your workflow even further.

Notes: 

  • The features and functionality available to you may vary based on your organization's configuration and whether you're using Dragon Copilot embedded in Rover, the Dragon Copilot standalone web/desktop app, or both.

  • Recording is done exclusively on the mobile device - in Dragon Copilot embedded in Epic Rover. 

AI-supported flowsheets

The following flowsheets are supported by Dragon Copilot embedded within Epic Rover:

  • Intake and output

  • Vitals and pain assessments

  • Daily cares and safety

  • Activities of daily living

  • Head to toe (basic assessment)

  • LDA and wounds assessments, additions, and removals

Dragon Copilot nursing workflow overview

Workflow diagram: Prep (find patient); In room (start recording in the room); Hallway (capture additional findings or start recording); Edit & File (review, edit, file on mobile or desktop).

Prep: Locate your patient in the Rover so you’re ready to start recording after you enter the room.

In room: This is where you will primarily engage with Dragon Copilot's ambient flowsheet capture capabilities. Begin recording in Rover and speak your observations and assessments aloud during the interaction.

Hallway/outside of room: Use Dragon Copilot to capture details you didn’t want to say in front of the patient or forgot to mention.

Edit and file: Review the AI-generated entries, make any edits, and file them in the EHR.

Tip: Begin with quick, on-the-go voice entries for mobile documentation during rounding. As your comfort grows, expand to include more flowsheet observations, building toward a fully integrated AI workflow.

Obtain consent

Before recording, obtain patient consent in accordance with your organization’s policy.

Important: 

  • Patient consent must be obtained ahead of ambient usage. Follow your organization’s guidelines to obtain patient consent before using Dragon Copilot.

  • Recording consent laws vary by state, and all processes must comply with local and federal requirements.

  • Patient participation in recorded conversations may also be subject to your organization’s consent policies. Always follow your organization’s guidelines on whether and how patient input should be captured using Dragon Copilot.
