Re: [NMTC capitalization question

In the Emergency Room, blood and urine cultures were performed and are

pending at this time. He will continue his three times weekly dialysis at the

Outpatient Clinic.

Are Emergency Room and Outpatient Clinic capitalized? The physician does

state the name of the hospital several times in the report. Thanks, ABB

There are differing opinions (style guidelines) out there, but I wouldn't cap

unless the name of the hospital actually precedes the department name. Ex:

The patient was admitted through the Mercy Hospital Emergency Room.

An appointment was scheduled at the Mercy Hospital Outpatient Clinic.

but

The patient was taken to Mercy Hospital, where he had a long wait in the

emergency room. He was transferred to the outpatient clinic the next day.
