Direct Data Entry (DDE)

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​KHIE is designated to facilitate the automation of public health reporting for the state of Kentucky.  Direct Data Entry (DDE) is the quasi-modernization of the manual entry of lab results for certain communicable diseases and their associated case reports.  Participating healthcare organizations can utilize KHIE's online web forms​ to manually enter these, replacing the traditional paper-based methods and minimizing administrative reporting burdens.
