Mayo Clinic and Microsoft recently revealed their partnership in deploying Microsoft 365 Copilot, a generative AI platform. This collaboration allows Mayo Clinic, based in Rochester, Minnesota, to be among the early users of Microsoft 365 Copilot Early Access Program.
Mayo Clinic’s clinicians and staff will have the opportunity to test this AI technology, which combines large language models with Microsoft 365 applications, including calendars, emails, chats, and documents. The primary goal is to enhance productivity and reduce administrative burdens.
Mayo Clinic aims to leverage generative AI applications to automate tasks like form-filling and alleviate time-consuming administrative work for healthcare professionals, enabling them to focus more on patient care.
Cris Ross, Chief Information Officer at Mayo Clinic, emphasized the importance of privacy, ethics, and safety in their work with generative AI and large language models. He believes that AI-powered technology will empower Mayo Clinic to lead healthcare transformation while prioritizing the delivery of high-quality patient care.
This collaboration reflects the growing trend of healthcare organizations integrating AI solutions to streamline workflows and improve healthcare delivery.
Colette Stallbaumer, General Manager for Microsoft 365, expressed excitement about how Microsoft 365 Copilot can enhance work processes across various industries and help organizations like Mayo Clinic achieve their goals.
