palmER vs Doximity Scribe.

Doximity Scribe is a free note for Dialer calls. palmER is your ED MDM, your clinical questions, your consult calls, and your discharge papers, work and school notes included.

Doximity Scribe is free for eligible verified U.S. clinicians and generates clinical notes during Doximity Dialer visits, with dictation and pre-charting also available.

To justify a paid subscription, palmER needs to help with work the free note leaves to you. The MDM is the place to start that evaluation.

At a glance

Free counts for something

Doximity Scribe handles note generation with templates such as SOAP and H&P at no cost to eligible clinicians. If that meets your needs, the price is a substantial advantage. A paid tool has to save you additional work to justify the subscription.

What the ED chart asks for

The back of the ED note is different. The MDM is the section that gets read, and nothing said at the bedside contains it: the differential you worked through, the risk you weighed, the data you reviewed, the shared decision-making you did, or the reason this patient goes home and the last one did not.

palmER writes a structured MDM from the chart, with the differential, risk, data reviewed, and disposition organized for your review. You can also use it to prepare a consult call or discharge papers, including work and school notes. Patient tracking, clinical questions, and a pre-sign chart review stay in the same workspace.

The 29-day retention period and content license

Your content belongs to you. palmER processes it to provide you service, never uses it to train AI models, and automatically deletes patient data within 24 hours. Audio is never saved.

Doximity's help center says transcriptions and notes are stored for 29 days, and its terms of service grant it a perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable license to content submitted through its tools, prompts and inputs to Scribe included. Anything an AI scribe retains can be produced later.

palmER stores no audio, and because it sits beside the EMR rather than inside it, only the text you review and paste becomes part of the record. Read more about retention and discovery in what does your AI scribe save.

Is the additional help worth paying for?

Doximity Scribe is a free general-purpose scribe for verified U.S. clinicians. If a note from a Dialer visit is all you need, it costs nothing and it does that.

Try palmER on the work that keeps you in the department after your patients have left. If it helps you finish those MDMs and discharge tasks with less effort, you have a practical basis for comparing its subscription with a free scribe.

Try palmER free for 30 days. No credit card required.
