According to a Microsoft-commissioned study through IDC, 79% of healthcare organizations have undertaken the adoption of modern AI technology.
Microsoft has been working closely with healthcare organizations to leverage the potential of generative AI. At the 2024 HIMSS Global Health Conference & Exhibition, Microsoft showcased how providers are embracing generative AI solutions and the profound impact this technology is making.
For example, Stanford Medicine and Microsoft announced the enterprise-wide deployment of Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience Copilot (DAX Copilot), which has streamlined administrative tasks, alleviated physician burnout, and enhanced patient care. The deployment of DAX Copilot at Stanford Medicine has led to significant improvements in efficiency and patient-focused care, with clinicians reporting ease of use and time-saving benefits.
Similarly, WellSpan Health has embraced DAX Copilot, leveraging generative AI to automate clinical note drafting and enhance patient-physician interactions during exam room and telehealth visits. The widespread adoption of DAX Copilot at WellSpan Health has significantly improved the quality of interactions and reduced documentation burdens, aligning with the organization’s commitment to delivering exceptional care experiences and addressing physician burnout.
Amidst the rapid advancements in AI, Microsoft remains committed to responsible AI principles, ensuring the safe, fair, and responsible use of technology. Microsoft has joined a consortium of healthcare leaders to form the Trustworthy & Responsible AI Network (TRAIN), aimed at operationalizing responsible AI principles to improve the quality, safety, and trustworthiness of AI in health.
Time will tell how effective the new platforms are, but if the promised efficiency comes to fruition, then doctors having more time for patient care can only be a positive development.
