HHS Direct Data Entry Guidance The Office of Burden Reduction and Health Informatics (OBRHI) National Standards Group (NSG), on behalf of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), has issued guidance to clarify the definition of direct data entry at 45 CFR § 162.103 and the direct data entry exception at 45 CFR § 162.923(b). Several covered entities have submitted questions to the NSG regarding the direct data entry (DDE) exception at 45 CFR § 162.923(b). These HIPAA covered entities have asked whether health care providers' use of various forms of automation software meets the DDE exception.
