I just reviewed a report from QA.  Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but I was always taught that department names (radiology, cardiology, emergency room, etc.,) were not capitalized unless they were proper names (First Street Cardiology, Any Hospital Emergency Room, etc.).  QA changed every reference to a service to be capitalized, like the patient was referred to the Endocrine service.  Is this correct?  I want to find out before I send it in for review. Thanks.
