A medical practice has many internal procedures and they change: hygiene and disinfection routines, medication and supply ordering, medical waste handling, the steps for issuing a sick-leave certificate through the social security portal, how e-prescriptions are issued and renewed, instructions for completing records in the national e-health system, leave and cover rules, and actions in an emergency. The documents sit in SharePoint or on a shared drive, often in several versions, and a new nurse or receptionist finds it quicker to ask a colleague in Teams than to search. The colleague answers from memory, sometimes by the old procedure. The head nurse and administration answer the same questions every day, and an audit reveals that some staff follow an outdated version.
The assistant is built on the Copilot Studio platform and runs in your Teams, in your Microsoft 365 tenant. Its only knowledge source is a library of approved documents in SharePoint with version control and a validity marker: outdated versions and drafts do not enter the search. An employee asks in plain language in a Teams window, for example how to order medication for a department, how a sick-leave certificate is issued through the social security portal, or who covers reception on public holidays, and gets a short answer with a quote from the document and a link to the current version and section. If the answer is not in the approved documents, the assistant says so and suggests whom to ask among the responsible people, instead of guessing. The assistant holds no patient data, does not connect to Cliniko, CGM, the national e-health system or the social security portal, and does not answer clinical questions: it is an internal procedures helper, not a medical source, which is why Copilot fits here rather than a private model. Access to documents follows your existing SharePoint permissions, so a nurse does not see administration documents, conversations are recorded in a log, and unanswered questions become a list of which procedures are worth extending. We provide permissions and licence support together with Microsoft 365 administration.
