      There are two different knee arthroplasty and knee replacement code tables used to develop value sets for the eligible hospital measures. One of the tables is used for the SCIP Infection measures (Knee arthroplasty "2.16.840.1.113883.3.666.5.1816") surgery and one is used for the SCIP VTE and The Joint Commission VTE measures (knee replacement surgery 2.16.840.1.113883.3.117.1.7.1.261). These value sets were developed to meet the intent of these different measures by members of the expert work groups who developed these clinical quality measures.
