Dragon Copilot 3.5.1: AI Model Accuracy Updates, Protected Sections & DMO Migration Improvements (2026)

AI Model Updates — US and Canada Physician

The latest AI model updates make clinical documentation more accurate, comprehensive, and consistent. These improvements apply automatically — no action needed from your organization.

• Home Health and Triage specialty models now live — expanding coverage to clinical workflows that previously lacked specialty-specific optimization
• Emergency Medicine improvements: Reduced repetitions, better capture of elements necessary for billing, and improved timestamp accuracy
• HPI opening statement: Now includes visit-relevant history regardless of when it was verbalized during the encounter
• Assessment & Plan: Maintains consistent imperative voice throughout the section
• Ongoing specialty updates: A streamlined process now supports continuous specialty-specific refinements

Vocabulary Audio Training Physician

Clinicians can now help Dragon Copilot better recognize specialized words and phrases by recording their own pronunciation. After at least 60 seconds of dictation activity, users can create a training audio sample for any word in their vocabulary. When saved, the recording is linked to the word permanently, improving future recognition accuracy.

This is particularly valuable for specialists who use uncommon medical terminology, facility-specific abbreviations, or names that standard models struggle with.

Protected Sections Support in EHR Notes Physician

Dragon Copilot desktop now automatically detects protected or read-only areas within EHR notes and prevents any text — dictated, typed, or AI-generated — from being inserted into those sections. This ensures clinicians only edit the parts of the note they are permitted to modify, preventing accidental overwrites of system-generated or locked content.

This brings Dragon Copilot to full parity with Dragon Medical One behavior in protected-section handling — a critical safeguard for compliant documentation.

Launch Workflows from Keyboard Shortcuts & PowerMic Physician

Workflows can now be triggered three ways: voice commands (existing), keyboard shortcuts (new), and PowerMic device buttons (new). This gives clinicians more flexibility to launch automated actions in the moment that best fits their workflow — whether they’re in a quiet environment where voice isn’t practical, or simply prefer a physical button press.

Expanded Full Text Control — Altera Sunrise Physician

Dragon Copilot desktop now supports full text control in Altera Sunrise, enabling advanced editing, precise text selection, navigation commands, and richer dictation workflows. This continues the steady expansion of EHR systems where Dragon Copilot matches the Dragon Medical One experience.

Voice Automated can verify that full text control is properly enabled in your environment after updating to the latest version.

Seamless DMO Formatting Migration Physician

Dragon Copilot desktop now automatically migrates your existing Dragon Medical One formatting settings — including capitalization, spacing, punctuation behavior, and number and measurement formats. Dictated text looks and behaves the way clinicians expect from day one, reducing friction during the transition.

Tune Accuracy — Full Service Line & Role Support Nursing

Test cases can now be evaluated against all service line and role combinations configured in the admin center — not just Med/Surg and RN. This ensures accuracy testing aligns with how templates are actually deployed in production. Enhanced coverage reports now reflect:

• Test cases created from ambient-enabled flowsheet templates
• Your organization’s custom template profiles
• Key metrics: total test cases, passing tests, and items requiring review

Available in: Embedded EHR  |  US

Flowsheet Analyzer — Template Redundancy Reporting Nursing

The Flowsheet Analyzer now factors template profiles into its reporting, helping organizations identify and avoid template selection problems — especially when nearly identical templates are enabled for the same user profile. Duplicated LDA groups with the same base display name are automatically flagged, catching potential issues earlier in user acceptance testing.

Updated Service Lines & Loading Enhancements Nursing

The available service lines list has been updated to Med Surg (medical-surgical), Telemetry, and Other. Additionally, flowsheet cards now display an enhanced loading animation that gives nursing users instant visual confirmation when data is processing — reducing uncertainty and supporting an uninterrupted clinical workflow.
