    In a busy emergency room, design a function that automatically generates the next available palindromic patient identification number based on the current ID, ensuring the number reads the same forwards and backwards for easy verification across hospital departments during critical situations. The generated ID must be greater than the current ID and be the smallest possible palindrome that satisfies this condition.
