Canadian Classification of Health Interventions
The Canadian Classification of Health Interventions (CCI) is the new national
standard for classifying health care procedures. CCI is the companion classification
system to ICD-10-CA. CCI replaces the Canadian Classification of Diagnostic,
Therapeutic and Surgical Procedures (CCP) and the intervention portion of ICD-9-CM
in Canada. See implementation status.
Scope
CCI classifies a broad range of interventions, such as:
- therapeutic interventions including inpatient and day surgeries, surgical and non-surgical;
- diagnostic interventions including diagnostic imaging, tests, measurements, biopsies and explorations;
- cognitive, psychosocial and sensory therapeutic interventions
- other healthcare interventions such as assistance with activities of daily
living, environmental assessments,
and counseling; and
- therapeutic interventions strengthening the immune system.
For more information, see the overview of CCI sections and
code ranges.
Benefits
CCI specifies more precisely than ever before what interventions and services
health professionals provide. It has been designed to be service-provider and
service-setting neutral and can be used comprehensively throughout the health
system. A comparison of CCI to CCP and ICD-9-CM
illustrates many of the improvements over its predecessor classifications. Other
benefits of CCI include:
- Canadian control over the classification;
- improved scope and content;
- enhanced structure and presentation; and
- responsiveness to user needs.
Coding Structure
As CCI replaces CCP and/or ICD-9-CM as the new standard for the classification
of health-related interventions in Canada, information systems that collect
and store procedure codes must be modified to accommodate the new
CCI coding structure.
Support and Training
Public Submissions for Enhancements to ICD-10-CA and CCI
CIHI has opened a public submission process to allow users of the classifications
and the health data they provide an opportunity for input in the maintenance
and enhancement cycle. The Public Submission Guidelines provide an in-depth
explanation of the process, and list the required criteria for completion of
the Submission
Request Form.
