Additional Info

This code is used if a person was observed for a suspected accident/injury/trauma but did NOT end up having an injury (e.g. patient fell, hit his head, initial workup was negative but he was admitted and observed for a day, during which no evidence of an actual injury occurred).
- Are we also using this code for a minor fall in hospital, in which a patient did not sustain injury?Mlagadi 09:25, 2018 February 20 (CST)
