Every hour of sleep is translation for qhs despite BOS having it as nightly. Maybe your QA was a latin scholar!! If it was something like Ambien, maybe they considered it wrong because you would take that at bedtime and not just some time at night?

q. hour of sleep
Subject: q. hour of sleep
I e-mailed AAMT with this same question about a month ago. Their response to me was as follows:
"He may be dictating "hour of sleep" because he expects you to use the abbreviation h.s. However, this particular abbreviation is on the Dangerous Abbreviations List, and we are encouraged to transcribe this as either "nightly" or "at bedtime." If the dictator questions you about this, you can show him the appendix in your Book of Style or refer him to the Dangerous Abbreviations List under Patient Safety Goals on the JCAHO web site (www.jcaho.org)."
