Stedman's Abbreviation book

This book is an excellent resource if you review medical record documentation for any reason. I use it all the time as a nurse and a coding/compliance auditor. Everyone in my department has their own copy. It is a necessary tool in the industry.Overall, I find Stedmans's is the best abbreviation book available. It is comprehensive and is easy to use. It gives multiple listings for each abbrevation. Don't struggle trying to read charts, buy yourself a copy!
