adding a followup "thank you" post for every single question just clutters up the board, really. I'm much more appreciative of a /well-formulated/ question that gives enough context for some to be /able/ to help and, in particular, one that demonstrates the questioner has at least tried to research it. ;-)

if you have it, pages 46-47. I've had accounts that didn't want departments, etc. capitalized no matter how they were used, all lower case, so definitely account preference as people said below. I prefer to capitalize when referred to as an entity, such as you said or as in BOS, patient was referred to Anesthesia for evaluation... I really dislike typing, the patient was seen by nutrition or wound care or speech, etc. but if verbatim and that's the way they want it, that's what the account gets.
