– The launch marks an important milestone in Mount Sinai’s ongoing digital transformation and its commitment to using responsible artificial intelligence to support physicians and deliver better outcomes for patients.
Mount Sinai Health System Advances Clinical Efficiency with Dragon Copilot
Built on a secure, scalable architecture designed for healthcare, Dragon Copilot combines advanced natural language processing, ambient listening, and generative artificial intelligence to optimize clinical documentation directly within the electronic health record (EHR). This integration streamlines workflows, reduces administrative burden, and frees up valuable time for clinicians to focus on meaningful patient interactions.
“Mount Sinai’s adoption of Dragon Copilot, following a comprehensive evaluation of multiple vendors, marks a transformative step in leveraging technology to empower our physicians and improve the care experience,” said Lisa Stump, executive vice president, chief digital information officer for Mount Sinai Health System and dean of information technology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
Through its unified voice and ambient AI capabilities, Dragon Copilot enables doctors, nurses, and care teams to seamlessly automate documentation and related tasks during natural conversations with patients. The result is faster, more accurate clinical records and better care coordination, leading to greater physician engagement and better patient experiences.
Implementation has begun in select departments, with a full system-wide expansion planned for 2026. Each phase of implementation includes structured training, ongoing feedback, and comprehensive evaluation to ensure safe, equitable, and effective adoption across all care settings.
By integrating Dragon Copilot, Mount Sinai reinforces its broader digital transformation strategy, leveraging AI-powered solutions to improve physician well-being, strengthen operational excellence, and improve patient outcomes, further establishing its position as a national leader in academic medical innovation.
