Client Alert
Microsoft and Nuance have announced an important enhancement to DAX Copilot that directly benefits our Emergency Department clients. As your trusted partner with 25+ years of experience implementing clinical documentation solutions, we want to ensure you're informed and prepared for this positive change.
What's Happening
Good News for ED Providers: The Emergency Department specialty model in DAX Copilot has been significantly improved. The AI now automatically generates optimized Assessment & Plan sections for ED encounters, making the separate "ED MDM style option" unnecessary.
The Enhancement: Last quarter's introduction of the dedicated ED specialty model delivers substantially better clinical notes, particularly in the Assessment & Plan section. This improvement eliminates the need for the previous manual styling option.
Action Required for Current ED Users
If you're currently using the "ED MDM option" in your style wizard settings:
- Update your settings before the Dragon Copilot 3.3.0 / DAX Copilot 1.10 release
- Choose either:
- "No format change" (recommended) - retains the improved AI-generated formatting
- Select customizable templates that align with your documentation preferences
- Note: Users who don't update will automatically default to "No format change"
Why This Matters
This update represents exactly what we've seen consistently from Microsoft and Nuance: continuous improvement based on real clinical feedback. The retirement of the ED MDM style option demonstrates that the new Emergency Department specialty model provides:

in Assessment & Plan sections
