Dining room in reform school as place

This code indicates that an injury or adverse event occurred within the dining facilities of a reform school. It specifies the physical location of an external cause, rather than the nature of the injury itself.

Apply this code when documenting the place of occurrence for an injury or other external cause that took place in a dining room setting within a correctional or rehabilitative institution for minors. This would include incidents like falls, altercations, or food-related issues that happen during meal times in such facilities.

• Always use this code as a secondary code to provide context for an external cause code (V00-Y99).
• Ensure the primary external cause code accurately reflects the nature of the event (e.g., assault, fall, accidental poisoning).
• Verify documentation explicitly states the incident occurred in the dining room of a reform school, not just any institutional dining area.
