How to prepare for a visit with AI Patient Summary

Last checked Oct 27, 2026 against Tabflows v3.10.63

On this page

Everything you need is already in the chart; the work is finding it before the patient sits down.

When does it appear

AI Patient Summary is available whenever you have a patient chart open in Cerbo or Elation — the only two places it appears. It stays disabled until the patient on screen is linked and loaded in Tabflows, so if it looks inactive, link the patient first.

See 👉 How do I link a patient across your systems


Where will you see it

On the patient chart itself, labeled "Click for AI Patient Summary" — the label rolls when you hover over it, followed by an arrow. You don't install it; Tabflows presents it beside the chart you already have open.


What happens when you press it

Sidekick opens and runs a fixed visit-prep workflow, then returns one copyable summary card covering:

  • Relationship and personal details
  • Critical alerts
  • Context and history
  • Monitoring items
  • Medication reconciliation

Copy what's useful into your note.


What won't it do on its own

It reads, and only reads — it never writes to the EMR. Nothing lands in the chart unless you copy it there yourself.


I don't see the button

Usually the context didn't match, and nothing is broken: you're in an EMR other than Cerbo or Elation, or the patient on screen isn't linked in Tabflows yet. This button is not affected by the "Hide smart buttons" setting.
