Dining room in prison as place

This code identifies the specific location where an injury or other external cause event occurred, indicating it took place within a dining area located inside a correctional facility. It specifies the environment as a prison dining room, differentiating it from other prison areas or general dining establishments.

Use this code when documenting an external cause event, such as an assault, fall, or other accident, that occurred in the dining room of a prison. This applies to incidents affecting inmates, staff, or visitors within that specific setting. It should be assigned as a secondary code to provide context for the primary injury or condition.

• Always use this code in conjunction with an external cause code (V00-Y38) and a code for the resulting injury or condition.
• Ensure documentation clearly specifies the incident occurred in the "dining room" of a "prison" or "correctional facility."
• Do not use for incidents occurring in other areas of a prison, such as a cell block or recreation yard.
