This module clarifies where Copilot lives and how it accesses the information you need. You will learn the difference between "Public AI" and "Work AI," specifically how Copilot securely references your Outlook and OneDrive data to provide professional context. Learners will leave knowing how to verify that Copilot is referencing the correct organizational data and how to navigate the M365 ecosystem with confidence.

What's included

2 videos2 readings1 assignment

This module bridges the conceptual understanding of generative AI to the practical reality of Microsoft 365 Copilot as a productivity tool. Learners will explore real business use cases, understand how Copilot creates measurable value, and practice articulating that value in professional terms.

What's included

1 video2 readings2 assignments

This module introduces how Dragon Copilot and Microsoft 365 Copilot for Healthcare convert patient-clinician conversations into AI-generated clinical encounter note drafts, explaining the core mechanisms, key benefits, and non-negotiable human review requirements of ambient AI documentation in clinical settings.

What's included

2 videos2 readings2 assignments

This module provides learners with a practical orientation to Copilot across the Microsoft 365 apps they use every day. Learners will see how Copilot surfaces in Word, Teams, and other core tools, and understand the workflow pattern that makes Copilot integration effective rather than disruptive, and practice executing hand-offs that move information seamlessly from one stage of work to the next.

What's included

2 readings1 assignment

Not every task belongs to Copilot. This module equips learners with a structured evaluation framework to make confident, defensible decisions about which tasks to delegate to AI and which require human leadership, turning ad hoc AI use into a professional strategy.

What's included

2 readings3 assignments

This module covers how to use Microsoft 365 Copilot for Healthcare's ambient listening capability (Microsoft Dragon Copilot) to capture patient narratives and produce draft clinical note sections, and how to edit those outputs into complete, finalized SOAP notes and HPIs ready for clinician sign-off.

What's included

2 videos2 readings2 assignments

This module builds the skills to review AI-generated clinical documentation against coding, billing, and medical necessity requirements, and to apply a structured validation framework confirming that AI-generated summaries accurately reflect clinical intent without introducing patient safety concerns.

What's included

1 video2 readings3 assignments

This module covers how to apply Dragon Copilot's ambient documentation features in a routine outpatient documentation context from initiating a capture session through generating a complete clinical encounter note draft and reviewing it for completeness before passing it to the clinician for sign-off.

What's included

2 videos2 readings2 assignments

This module develops the analytical skill of systematically reviewing Dragon Copilot-generated note sections for three specific quality issues—omissions, attribution errors, and irrelevant transcript content—and producing an annotated review that supports informed clinician sign-off.

What's included

1 video3 readings2 assignments

This module builds the evaluative skill of assessing Dragon Copilot configuration options—including note template selection, specialty-specific structure settings, and documentation burden parameters—to determine which configuration choices best fit an established clinical workflow and support consistent draft quality.

What's included

1 video2 readings3 assignments

This module covers how to apply clinical documentation standards to edit Dragon Copilot-generated note sections—specifically, histories, assessments, and plans— completeness and encounter relevance, so the note is ready for record finalization.

What's included

2 videos2 readings2 assignments

This module develops a more sophisticated quality analysis skill—tracing the documentation chain from the source conversation through the generated draft to the final chart entry and identifying where discrepancies entered and what they mean for record quality and process improvement.

What's included

1 video3 readings2 assignments

This module builds the evaluative skill of reviewing finalized AI-assisted clinical encounter notes against three usability dimensions—legal defensibility, operational usability, and continuity-of-care appropriateness—within routine documentation review processes.

What's included

1 video2 readings3 assignments

This module covers how to transfer Dragon Copilot-generated clinical encounter note content into an EMR workflow, review it within the chart structure, and complete a reconciliation process that verifies accuracy before the chart is completed.

What's included

2 videos2 readings2 assignments

This module develops the analytical skill of identifying and documenting EMR workflow constraints—system-level, structural, and process-level limitations—that affect how Dragon Copilot and Microsoft 365 Copilot content can be reliably incorporated into charting and follow-up activities.

What's included

1 video3 readings3 assignments

This module deepens learners' understanding of how generative AI underlies Dragon Copilot and Microsoft 365 Copilot for Healthcare, and how that understanding strengthens responsible, effective use across clinical documentation, note review, and EMR workflows. Learners explore what large language models do when generating clinical note drafts, why confident-sounding AI outputs still require human review, and how to apply AI literacy to work more precisely and safely in a documentation quality role.

What's included

1 video3 readings1 assignment

In this project, learners integrate all ambient AI documentation workflows, clinical note capture and editing, Dragon Copilot draft analysis, documentation standards, and EMR reconciliation skills to complete a full AI documentation review cycle for a simulated outpatient encounter. Working through provided materials, they review a Dragon Copilot draft clinical note, edit it to documentation standards, trace discrepancies through the documentation chain, and evaluate the scenario for EMR record integrity, producing a finalization-ready documentation package with a structured readiness report. This project mirrors the end-to-end workflow a health administration professional would follow when supporting AI-assisted documentation in a real clinical setting.
