A smarter documentation experience for clinicians
Dragon Copilot 3.6 continues the shift from basic voice tools to a more complete clinical workflow experience. Instead of simply helping clinicians document faster, the platform now does more to support what happens before, during, and after the patient visit.
For end-users, that means less manual follow-up, more workflow flexibility, and a better experience across the day.
New clinical letter generation
One of the biggest additions in the 3.6 release is support for new clinical letter documents generated directly within a session. Clinicians can now create consultation summaries and letters to general practitioners, letters to patients, and referral letters from within Dragon Copilot.
These documents appear in a new Documents section where they can be reviewed and edited before being transferred to the EHR.
Why it matters: This helps reduce manual documentation work after the visit and gives providers a more efficient way to handle common follow-up communication.
Multilingual note generation
Dragon Copilot now supports 58 spoken languages for capturing patient-clinician conversations. The interface remains in English, transcripts are written in the spoken language, and notes are generated in English.
Why it matters: For organizations serving diverse patient populations, this adds flexibility while still supporting structured documentation output.
As always, output should be reviewed for accuracy, but this is an important step toward better support for real-world care environments.
Diagnosis-aware notes in Epic
For organizations using Dragon Copilot for Epic and DAX Copilot for Epic, diagnosis-aware notes using ambient recording can now help streamline how assessment and plan information is captured and structured.
Why it matters: This reduces manual effort, improves clarity, and supports stronger interoperability inside Epic workflows.
For health systems already investing in Epic optimization, this feature adds meaningful clinical value.
Longer ambient recording sessions
Dragon Copilot now supports up to 120 minutes of ambient recording time per visit, up from the previous 75-minute limit.
Why it matters: Longer encounters can be documented more naturally without forcing clinicians to adjust their workflow around system limits.
This is a practical improvement for more complex visits and longer patient conversations.
Expanded desktop control and customization
Dragon Copilot desktop now supports full text control in more apps, including Microsoft Word and Outlook. Users also gain access to dictation formatting preferences, sticky desktop views, and easier access to voice command help.
Why it matters: These updates help clinicians maintain familiar workflows and reduce friction during adoption, especially for users transitioning from Dragon Medical One.
More mobile flexibility at the point of care
Dragon Copilot 3.6 expands mobile capabilities by allowing users to initiate workflows with mobile mic buttons and by extending support for Dragon Copilot for Epic on Android.
Why it matters: Clinicians can access more workflow support at the bedside and on the go, without being tied to a desktop-first experience.
Nursing workflows continue to improve
Dragon Copilot 3.6 also includes meaningful updates for nurse workflows.
New capabilities include:
- Patient-centric homepages
- Comprehensive patient views
- Summaries of pending care activities
- Consolidated nurse note experiences
- Transcript querying across patient interactions
- Expanded information assist capabilities
- Improved mobile access for iOS and Android
These enhancements are designed to reduce navigation friction, surface useful information more quickly, and support better shift-based workflow management.
What this means for healthcare organizations
Dragon Copilot 3.6 shows how quickly AI-powered clinical documentation is evolving. This release is not just about faster note creation. It is about reducing documentation burden across more workflows, supporting more care settings, and helping organizations move toward a more connected experience for physicians, nurses, and care teams.
