ConsultER
Craft polished consult calls in seconds with palmER's Consult Scripter so you earn faster buy-in from every specialist.
ConsultER turns your clinical summary into a polished consult script in seconds. Whether your patient's crashing or you're managing multiple admissions, the tool generates a structured call that specialists actually want to take. You get the opening, the talking points, and answers to the pushback they're likely to throw at you. One organized call often kills the callbacks.
Use ConsultER to nail the first call. Input the case. Get the script before you dial. Keep your own voice. Move the patient forward.
Why Users Rely on ConsultER
Good consult calls follow a pattern. You introduce yourself, lead with the key clinical problem, explain why it matters now, and ask for what you actually need. ConsultER captures that rhythm. Input the case in your own shorthand or paste the whole chart. ConsultER returns a structured, professional consult script with all the key points covered.
The output stays in your voice because it's built on your clinical summary. It makes clear what you need and respects the consultant's constraints. Specialists respond better to clear and organized requests from callers who did their homework.
How ConsultER Works
Enter a brief consultation request or paste in the entire chart:
Consult vascular surgery for 70M with cold pulseless left leg. Heparin started. CTA pending.ConsultER returns a script that's ready to use. You'll get three things: the opening call in language that sets the right tone, the clinical points you need to cover if they ask questions, and the pushback you might face and how to handle it.
What You Get
One Tool for Every Consult
Whether it's a trauma activation, a routine follow-up, scheduling a procedure, or coordinating a transfer, ConsultER adjusts the script to fit the situation. Emergency calls sound different from stable admissions, and the tool knows the difference. Type "open tib-fib fracture, ortho needed now" and you get an urgent opening. Type "stable patient with slow GI bleed, GI input appreciated" and the tone shifts accordingly. Same workflow. The context does the work.
The Interface
ConsultER mirrors how you actually prep for a call. Your case summary at the top. The finished script takes up the main view. No settings to tweak. You type once, get everything you need, and make the call.

A few lines of clinical notes become a complete, ready-to-present script. The talking points and anticipated questions sit right next to the script so you can glance over them before the consultant picks up.
ConsultER for Different Specialties
Why ConsultER Matters in Practice
Faster calls, fewer callbacks
When you're organized, specialists close the loop on the first call. You cover what matters, they don't need to hunt for information, and you move to a plan without the back and forth. That saves everyone's time.
Teaching the next generation
Residents learn to present by watching their attendings. ConsultER models that pattern: respect the consultant's time, anticipate what they'll ask, and advocate clearly. The scripts become examples of what good consult calls sound like.
Better team relationships
Consultants trust physicians who are always prepared. One well-organized call builds more goodwill than three scattered ones. Over time, that foundation makes high-stakes cases move faster and smoother.
Real Consult Scenarios
Time-critical cases
STEMI in 58M, cath lab activation needed.ConsultER frames the urgency clearly, recaps the data the cardiologist needs so the team mobilizes immediately.
Complex ICU cases
67M in septic shock with AKI and respiratory failure. Need ICU.The script threads together hemodynamics, labs, and current management. You enter the conversation knowing how to articulate escalation and level of care.
Transfers and disposition
45F with complex spine injury. Local OR not equipped. Need transfer.The script explains why your facility can't manage it, what you've done to stabilize, and what transport and staffing considerations matter. Receiving centers are more likely to accept when they understand the full picture.
Best Practices for Effective Consults
Generate the script early. You'll enter the call already prepared with your opening, your talking points, and answers to the questions specialists will ask.
Good consult calls compound. Specialists respond faster to clinicians they trust. Response times are short. Patients get better care.
It starts with a clear script.
