We use a numeric for the case number starting with the year 14-SR-1111 and an 
alpha and number for blocs with the case.  A1, A2, A3 so it looks like 
14-SR-1111 A1 and the next A block is A2 and so on with as many alpha 
designations as needed.  Last week we had one surgical case with A through AA 
so it is somewhat flexible that way.
