Type 2 VICNISS Procedure Groups, ICD10-AM Codes, & CMBS Codes

VICNISS Procedure Groups are combinations of clinically similar operative procedures. Listed below are some of the VICNISS Procedure Groups associated operative procedures to be included in the Type 2 Surveillance Program (Type 1 SSI Module).

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 91kb) as detailed below, are also available to download as a separate document (Updated July 2011).

An extensive list of VICNISS Procedure Groups, ICD10-AM Codes, & CMBS Codes (used in Type 1 SSI surveillance) is also available.

Appendix Surgery (APPY) | Gallbladder Surgery (CHOL) | Colorectal Surgery (COLO) | Caesarean Section (CSEC) | Gastric Surgery (GAST) | Herniorrhaphy (HERN) | Hip Arthroplasty (HPRO) | Abdominal Hysterectomy (HYST) | Knee Arthroplasty (KPRO) | Small Bowel Surgery (SB) | Vaginal Hysterectomy (VHYS)
