Swimming-pool of prison as place

This code identifies an injury or adverse event that occurred within a swimming pool located on the premises of a correctional facility. It specifies both the type of location (swimming pool) and the broader environment (prison) where the external cause of the injury took place.

This code is appropriate for documenting incidents such as drownings, slips, falls, or other traumas that happen to an individual while in a swimming pool within a prison or jail. It should be used when the external cause of the injury is directly attributable to the swimming pool environment within that specific institutional setting.

• Always use in conjunction with an external cause code (V00-Y38) and an injury code.
• Ensure the documentation clearly specifies the incident occurred in a swimming pool within a prison.
• Do not use for incidents occurring in other areas of a prison, or in swimming pools outside of a correctional facility.
