VICNISS Procedure Groups, ICD10-AM Codes, & CMBS 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.
CMBS codes are now included here in addition to ICD10 as these are often used in theatre databases accessed by SHIINe. While there is sometimes a
correlation between codes and they may be similar, there is not a one to one correlation between them. Both groups of codes presented here are intended
to include the same procedures. CMBS codes listed here are the ones the SHIINe software uses to obtain data from the theatre database for VICNISS
procedure groups included in your surveillance plan.
The VICNISS Procedure Groups
(PDF File 220kb) as
detailed below, are also available to download as a separate document (Updated May 2012).
