Overview

The Dragon Copilot standalone app extends the EHR mobile experience by adding advanced AI capabilities. While patient interactions must still be recorded through Epic Rover’s embedded ambient experience, the web/desktop app enables features such as AI-generated nurse notes, interaction summaries, and transcript queries. This integration streamlines documentation, provides actionable insights, and creates a unified workflow across mobile and desktop environments.

Note: These tips apply exclusively to the Dragon Copilot web/desktop experience for nurses.

When no sessions are recorded in Rover

If no sessions exist, you'll see a prompt to start by completing a recording in Rover. Until then, you can create a New Session in Dragon Copilot. These are Information Assist–only sessions because:

  • No patient transcript is available.

  • Recordings can’t be created from the desktop or web app.

These sessions are automatically named Dragon Copilot 001, Dragon Copilot 002, and so on. They appear in the session list and have the same sorting and filtering options as patient sessions.
