Swimming-pool of nursing home as place

This code identifies an injury or adverse event that occurred within a swimming pool located specifically at a nursing home facility. It pinpoints the exact physical location of the incident, indicating that the patient was in the aquatic environment of a long-term care residence when the external cause of their condition took place.

Apply this code when documenting an injury, such as a slip and fall, near-drowning, or chemical exposure, that happened to a resident or visitor while in the swimming pool area of a nursing home. This code is used as a secondary code to provide specificity regarding the place of occurrence for the primary injury or condition.

• Always assign this code as a secondary code, following the primary code for the injury or condition.
• Ensure documentation clearly specifies the incident occurred in the swimming pool and that the facility is a nursing home.
• Do not use this code for swimming pools in private residences, public parks, or other institutional settings.
