Bedroom in boarding-house as place

This code specifies that an injury or adverse event occurred within a bedroom located in a boarding house. It indicates the precise location within a residential facility where the external cause of a patient's condition took place, providing crucial detail for injury surveillance and prevention efforts.

Use this code when documenting the place of occurrence for injuries, poisonings, or other adverse events that happened in a patient's bedroom within a boarding house setting. This is applicable for incidents such as falls, assaults, or accidental exposures that are directly tied to that specific room type and facility.

• Always pair this code with an external cause code (V00-Y99) to fully describe the incident.
• Ensure the medical record explicitly states the incident occurred in a "bedroom" and within a "boarding house."
• Do not use for incidents occurring in common areas of a boarding house, such as a living room or kitchen.
