The technology acts as an ambient AI scribe, capturing patient-clinician conversations and generating real-time clinical documentation. VUMC initially piloted DAX Copilot in March 2024 with 10 clinicians in ambulatory care. The pilot later expanded to include 54 ambulatory clinicians across multiple specialties and 37 emergency department clinicians.

According to a December 31 news release, pilot users reported reduced after-hours documentation time and increased same-day appointment closures. These positive results prompted VUMC to extend access to the tool for clinicians in ambulatory and emergency department settings who meet device and department requirements.  

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
