As it turns out "stat" stands for a number of things, ranging from the obvious (statistics) to the not so obvious (Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique). However, the very first entry provided the answer to your question. "Stat" in medical parlance is actually not an acronym; it's short for statim, the Latin word for immediately.

RE: What does the acronym STAT stand for?? I hear this "word" all of the time at work, I have no clue what it means (other than I want it yesterday).

In medicine, it means With no delay. adj. Immediate. Or it can also mean the short of "statistics"
