Mercy is helping lead the way in transforming nursing care through technology. In collaboration with Microsoft, Mercy is playing a key role in the development of the first commercially available ambient AI solution for nurses within Microsoft Dragon Copilot.   Ambient AI operates in the background and is designed to adapt to and recognize human interactions in everyday settings. With the consent of patients, Dragon Copilot uses ambient AI to document nursing observations from conversations between a patient and caregiver which automatically feed into the patient’s electronic health record. This new tool is already being used in inpatient units at Mercy hospitals in St. Louis and Springfield, Missouri, and Fort Smith, Arkansas, with more Mercy locations expected to adopt it later this year.   more
