Clinicians are navigating rising complexity, fragmented systems, and relentless administrative demands, all while trying to stay present for their patients. At HIMSS 2026, Microsoft is introducing meaningful new advancements in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/health-solutions\/clinical-workflow\/dragon-copilot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Microsoft Dragon Copilot<\/a>, strengthening its role as a unified AI clinical assistant that brings clinical intelligence, work context, and partner innovation together inside everyday workflows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New capabilities include the ability to surface relevant work-related information alongside patient data for customers using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoft-365-copilot\">Microsoft 365 Copilot<\/a>; partner-built AI apps and agents available through Microsoft Marketplace that extend intelligence across revenue cycle, clinical insights, and decision support; and expanded role-based experiences for physicians, nurses, and radiologists designed to scale securely across settings and geographies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/health-solutions\/clinical-workflow\/dragon-copilot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Transform the way care teams work with Dragon Copilot<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\n  Today, more than 100,000 clinicians rely on Dragon Copilot as part of their daily practice\u2014supporting care for millions of patients every month. That kind of adoption doesn\u2019t happen by accident; it happens when technology earns trust, fits naturally into clinical workflows, and proves its value day after day. As healthcare continues to accelerate, the question facing organizations is no longer if AI will be part of care delivery, but how quickly they can equip their teams with tools that scale safely, work across roles, and keep clinicians focused on patients. The new Dragon Copilot capabilities we\u2019re introducing at HIMSS 2026 build on this proven foundation\u2014extending trusted clinical support beyond documentation to meet the growing demands of modern care.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clinicians need more than access to data\u2014they need an AI assistant that works alongside them, understands context, and supports action across systems and settings. Built on <a href=\"http:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\">Microsoft Azure<\/a>, Dragon Copilot delivers this capability with enterprise\u2011grade security, responsible AI, and cloud scale\u2014giving organizations the confidence to deploy broadly and grow with care teams wherever they work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote blockquote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote blockquote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201c<em>We ultimately went with Microsoft because of the security, the compliance, the scalability, and the fact that they&#8217;ve delivered reliable solutions for years<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<cite>\u2014Snehal Gandhi, MD, Vice President and Chief Medical Information Officer, Cooper University Health Care <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>See what Dragon Copilot has to offer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-msx-ump-embed wp-block-msx-ump-embed\" class=\"wp-block-msxcm-ump-embed\">\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n\t\t<universal-media-player id=\"ump-69da967fc70ab\"><\/universal-media-player>\n\t\t<script type=\"module\">\n\t\t\tconst currentTheme =\n\t\t\t\tlocalStorage.getItem('msxcmCurrentTheme') ||\n\t\t\t\t(window.matchMedia('(prefers-color-scheme: dark)').matches ?

Clinicians can naturally query, summarize, create, and act using voice or text\u2014without toggling between tools. Insights are surfaced instantly in one place, enabling care teams to move fluidly from understanding to action while spending less time navigating systems and more time with patients.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n  That intelligence is grounded in a broad set of trusted sources, including:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Prebuilt trusted <a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/drcinfocentralblog\">clinical content with citations<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Patient data like diagnoses, labs, medications, and allergies  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Organizational content such as policies, procedures, schedules, and communications  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\n  When needed, reliable web information can also be accessed through a safety\u2011first pathway\u2014ensuring responses remain appropriate for clinical use.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Care delivery depends on more than clinical facts\u2014it also depends on fast access to the work context around care. With <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/drcm365copilotblog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Microsoft 365 Copilot, powered by Work IQ<\/a><\/strong> and accessible inside Dragon Copilot, clinicians can pull in relevant work-related information from connected apps and enterprise data, right where they\u2019re already working. Work IQ is the intelligence layer that helps Copilot understand how people collaborate across emails, files, meetings, and chats\u2014so responses are grounded in the right context. The result is a more unified experience that reduces time spent searching across tools and keeps momentum inside the clinical workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dragon Copilot <a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/drcdesktopcopilot\">extends clinical intelligence beyond any single system or screen<\/a>. Instead of being locked into one interface, clinicians can invoke powerful AI capabilities wherever they\u2019re already working\u2014across applications, EHRs, and web pages. By simply clicking or highlighting text, Dragon Copilot can read, understand, and apply its intelligence directly in context, without forcing clinicians to switch tools or reenter information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, a clinician reviewing a note can place their cursor over a sentence and say, \u201c<em>Add more detail about what the patient shared regarding their cardiac history<\/em>.\u201d Dragon Copilot immediately expands the documentation using the surrounding clinical context\u2014no copying, no pasting, and no workflow disruption\u2014helping clinicians move faster while keeping their focus on the patient, not the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Building on this foundation, Dragon Copilot further unifies innovation through AI apps and agents available in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/marketplace.microsoft.com\/en-us\/\">Microsoft Marketplace<\/a><\/strong>. Developed by partners such as Canary Speech, Humata Health, Optum, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=x-gt27Zf5d4\">Regard<\/a>, these solutions deliver capabilities across clinical insights, revenue cycle management, prior authorization, and clinical decision support. Organizations can easily purchase, deploy, and scale partner innovation\u2014while clinicians experience those insights directly within their existing workflows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-msx-ump-embed wp-block-msx-ump-embed\" class=\"wp-block-msxcm-ump-embed\">\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n\t\t<universal-media-player id=\"ump-69da967fc72af\"><\/universal-media-player>\n\t\t<script type=\"module\">\n\t\t\tconst currentTheme =\n\t\t\t\tlocalStorage.getItem('msxcmCurrentTheme') ||\n\t\t\t\t(window.matchMedia('(prefers-color-scheme: dark)').matches ?
