Railway station as place

This code indicates that an injury or other adverse health event occurred within the physical confines of a railway station. This includes areas such as platforms, waiting rooms, ticket offices, and concourses. It specifies the location where the external cause of the patient's condition took place.

Use this code when documenting an injury, poisoning, or other external cause that occurred at a train station. Examples include falls on a platform, assaults within the station building, or injuries sustained during a train boarding or disembarking process while still within the station's boundaries. It should be assigned as a secondary code to provide context for the primary injury or condition.

• Always assign this as a secondary code following the primary code for the injury or condition.
• Ensure documentation clearly specifies the incident occurred at a railway station, not just near one.
• Do not use for incidents occurring on the train itself once it has departed the station.
