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)."

If it states the specific hospital or institution, i.e. General Hospital Diabetes Education Team, then capitalize it. They way you have it would be NOT capitalized. Hope that makes sense (no coffee yet).

If you have a verbatim account I would type as is. If not vertabim I would change it to gastroenterology. Really I think it depends on what your QA would say. Mine would do as above.

Subject: It would depend on your client profile for that account. I have never run across numbers within the axes, it would normally just be commas between each diagnosis or periods if that is what the client calls for. Check with that CP if you can.
