Important:

DAX Copilot is designed to work with one patient per encounter. If there are multiple patients in the room, such as a parent bringing multiple children, record a separate encounter for EACH patient.
DAX Copilot can handle straightforward visits and complex cases, and will generate well-organized documentation for patients with multiple medical conditions.
