What Suki is

A health system-purchased ambient documentation tool integrated with several major EHRs. Access is sales-led rather than self-serve, and public materials do not describe an ED-specific MDM workflow.

§ The honest partpalmER AI Suite
What they are

Suki

Suki is selected and deployed by a health system. Direct self-serve signup and public pricing are not offered, and the published retention period for audio and transcripts is 30 days.

What we are

When palmER is the right call.

When the chart is written between rooms, not after a scheduled visit. Chart-paste MDM with a real differential, a patient board for the shift, structured consult scripts, and a pre-sign-off check. Available directly, with no health-system purchase or IT rollout required. Encounter audio is never stored, and patient data automatically deletes within 24 hours.

§ The record behind the recordsuki vs palmER AI Suite

You signed one note. What else still exists?

AI documentation can create more than the note you sign: audio, transcripts, draft notes, edits, prompts, and questions. What remains depends on the tool, the vendor's terms, and sometimes your health system's contract.

Suki

What the public documents say.

Audio and transcript are each deleted after 30 days, but the final clinical note is retained for the entire service contract, no separate window is published for pre-signature drafts, and the privacy policy holds an open-ended retention clause that can extend beyond the relationship. De-identified data is used for model training.

palmER

No lasting shadow record.

Encounter audio is never stored. Inputs, transcripts, chats, drafts, and questions automatically delete within 24 hours. AI providers operate under zero-retention agreements.

§ Asked oftenpalmER-vs-suki · faq

Asked often. Answered plainly.

01How does Suki fit emergency medicine?+

Suki supports emergency medicine as one of multiple specialties; it is not exclusively positioned for the ED. palmER is purpose-built around emergency-department documentation: chart-paste MDM with Most Serious / Most Likely differential, multi-patient panel, ConsultER, Chart CheckER, and the integrated palmEM AI clinical reference.

Pricing is not publicly listed; purchase is arranged through a health system. palmER is publicly listed at $199/month for clinicians. Approved students and residents can apply for the $49/month trainee rate. The 30-day free trial includes every tool and requires no credit card.

04What does Suki retain after an encounter?+

Audio and transcript are each deleted after 30 days, but the final clinical note is retained for the entire service contract, no separate window is published for pre-signature drafts, and the privacy policy holds an open-ended retention clause that can extend beyond the relationship. De-identified data is used for model training. palmER never stores encounter audio, automatically deletes patient data within 24 hours, and uses AI providers under zero-retention agreements.
