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 (PDF File 167kb, opens in new window) as detailed below, are also available to download as a separate document (Updated October 2008).
