palmERPatient context, already loaded
Colab knows what HPI you generated, what differential is on the board, what was ordered. You ask the next question; you don’t restate the case.
A colleague in the sidebar, already up to speed.
Colab is the slide-out assistant on every page of the suite. It sees what you're working on (the presentation, the workup, your documentation), so you ask the question without re-explaining the case, get the answer, and keep charting.
Ask naturally. It knows the case.

Into the chart
On every page
One click slides Colab in from the right: beside the HPI, the MDM, ConsultER, anywhere you work.
Context, inherited
The chart on screen is already loaded: presentation, workup, results, documentation. With a patient selected, every question is answered against that chart.
Its own thread
Colab keeps a separate conversation, so side questions never disturb the documentation in your main window.
It already knows the patient.
No copying the chart into a chatbot, no restating the history. Ask the question the way you'd ask a colleague (what imaging should I order here?) and the answer comes back about this patient, not a hypothetical one.

Ask for it, get a draft.
Discharge instructions from the actual diagnosis and plan. Return precautions, expanded. A work note, a sign-out summary, documentation language for an AMA departure: drafted from the chart you already wrote, in the register the task needs.

palmEM AI, case context loaded.
The emergency medicine knowledge base behind palmEM AI is built into Colab: fifteen-plus years of EM reference, answering with your patient already in context. One thread can move from “what's my next move” to “verify the HEART score” to “draft the discharge instructions.”

Colab is the version of an AI assistant that doesn't waste your time. The MDM Assistant builds the documentation. Clinical Insights frames the thinking. palmER Colab is where you talk to it like a colleague when something specific comes up.
It also watches the encounter for the work that most often goes undocumented. Critical care and procedures show up as cards above the thread, and one click writes the note.
What you can ask, mid-chart.
Catches critical care and procedures
When the encounter meets critical care criteria or a separately billable procedure was performed, a card appears in Colab with the reason. Nothing is billed for you; the capture is flagged so it is not missed.
Complete notes in one click
Write critical care note uses your saved critical care time and the exclusion statement coders look for. Write procedure note produces a full, chart-ready note for the procedure that was done. Rewrite or dismiss at any time.
Follow up on the differential
Ask why something is in the Most Serious panel. Ask what would shift you toward the next workup. Ask what to do with the equivocal troponin.
