Contrary to simple transcription software or note-taking applications, this copilot fluidly navigates the full patient chart in real time and provides role-specific summaries, saving time on chart review, documentation, and care coordination. Built directly into popular EHR systems such as epic, Oracle Cerner, and athenahealth, the copilot integrates natively into existing clinical workflows with minimal training and no interruption to workflow.
Through the use of structured and unstructured data, it provides physicians, nurses, case managers, and other members of the care team with instant access to the most applicable patient data. “what differentiates wellsheet’s copilot is that it can zero in on the information that i require, specific to my position,” explained Dr. Viral Acharya, MD, is a medical director and hospitalist at Ascension St. Vincent’s. “it summarizes the patient’s medical history for me, reducing the time I spend reviewing their chart by half.”
