palmER puts the whole shift in your hands.
Keep multiple workups moving. Turn your chart into an EM-native MDM, get clinical answers, prepare consult calls, and review the chart before you sign. palmER also spots documentation needs for critical care, procedures, and sepsis and drafts the supporting notes. Finish with discharge instructions, work notes, and school notes. All in one subscription.
You signed one note. What else still exists?
Commure Scribe defaults to one year of active audio storage plus at least six years archived. Ambient AI has separate contract terms. palmER never stores ambient audio and deletes patient data within 24 hours.
Your signed note belongs in your EHR. The drafts, transcripts, and questions that helped you get there don't need a permanent home in your AI tool. With palmER, they expire automatically.
What the public documents say.
Commure Scribe publishes a default of one year of active audio storage followed by a minimum six-year archive. Its guide says practices can set retention policies, users can delete transcripts and notes, and audio is not used for AI training. These are Scribe terms; hospital Ambient AI retention and training depend on separate agreements.
Help on shift. Patient data gone within 24 hours.
Audio is never stored. Transcripts, drafts, edits, and questions automatically delete within 24 hours. Patient data is never used to train AI models.
