VICNISS Procedure Groups and ICD-10AM Codes
Participating hospitals have a choice to undertake VICNISS surveillance of surgical site infections on a select number of procedure groups.
This list helps to ensure sufficient numbers of procedures are available to allow calculation of valid aggregate infection rates within a shorter
time frame.
The VICNISS Procedure Groups
