Stedman’s Online logo

Product description

Stedman’s is an online reference/dictionary site for medical abbreviations, acronyms, and symbols. Stedman’s provides a foundational, well-defined set of definitions to be used site-wide for uniformity by all clinicians. This reference tool also provides illustrations and videos for research and patient care purposes.

How we use Stedman’s Online at VA

Stedman’’s reference tool is used as a uniform, foundational set of medical abbreviations, acronyms, and symbols for sites that use it for patient care and research purposes as well as those that have a policy requirement for obtaining a site-wide single, uniform set of definitions. This tool is view only and is unable to be modified or added to.

No VA Data

For SaaS products that do not contain VA-owned data*, there is now an expedited process that does not require a traditional VA authority to operate (ATO). Criteria include the following:

  • User owns a device (even if VA paid for the purchase of the device) such as a CPAP or glucometer that uses a SaaS product to share patient data (non-VA data*).
  • SaaS product has no direct connections or interfaces to VA systems or network.
  • Users consent to share their data (which may include PII and PHI) directly with the SaaS provider.
  • SaaS providers must have published terms and conditions for user consent.
  • VA providers access data in a view-only mode or with limited functionality per the user’s consent.

*According to Circular a130, anything that VA creates, collects, processes, maintains, disseminates, or disposes of by or for the federal government is considered federal information (VA data).

VA providers may not enter any VA information into this product; it must adhere to no VA data standards mentioned above.

The next step

If VA employees would like to use or purchase this previously approved service, please submit a SaaS inquiry form to confirm your use case and get procurement approval.
