abstract="External causes of injury and poisoning codes (E codes) are intended to provide data for injury research and evaluation of injury prevention strategies. E codes capture how the injury or poisoning happened (cause), the intent (unintentional or accidental; or intentional, such as suicide or assault), and the place where the event occurred. The use of E codes is supplemental to ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes. E codes are never to be recorded as principal diagnoses and are not required for reporting to CMS. © 2008 American College of Nurse Practitioners.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
