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).

do we want to use this for tracking falls?

Are we also using this code for a minor fall in hospital, in which a patient did not sustain injury?
