If all text is in capital, why not PORT in capital?
philgoddard Jun 4, 2012:
Porteur, meaning that they were transferred by a porter?

Cochin-Port Royal? Probably not.
Batîment Port Royal??? Due to open in 2011. Cf. p146 http://www.aphp.fr/aphp/files/2012/03/plan-strategique2010-2...
Date of your document?
Best bet is as SJLD suggests, to call them up and/or to ask your client.
SJLD Jun 3, 2012:
Best to call the hospital if you really want to know. What I usually do. But no way am I calling ER at PS on a Sunday afternoon!
Joshua Wolfe (asker) Jun 3, 2012:
Nothing comes after PORT. While the previous sentence is capitalized, UHCD and PORT are indented and in larger font than the sentence. It isn't a navy form -- hospital is Groupe hospitalier Pitié-Salpêtrière. Thank-you for trying!
Drmanu49 Jun 3, 2012:
Since everythin else is capitalized, I am not sure this is an acronym.
What comes immediately after?
It could mean patient is transferred or discharged and carrying a medical device (Holter for example).
It should be médicale with an E btw.
Could this be a Navy form?
SJLD Jun 3, 2012:
and what is written after PORT - is it a box to check?
Nikki Scott-Despaigne Jun 3, 2012:
In some UHCD patients are asked to wear an identification bracelet, which they can refuse to wear. However, this would not be in capital letters as in your original.
Which hospital in concerned? Might help with fishing around for info.
I've tried portage, portabilité...

Note from asker:
I don't understand why you linked to that wikipedia article. Nor do I see how the verb 'porter' fits here.
