I've found language recommended by the federal government, Health and Human Services, Office of Office for Civil Rights - HIPAA at: http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/hipaa/contractprov.html

We're currently attempting to incorporate relevant sections into our clinical trial agreements.

>Subject: HIPAA Language Requirements in Subagreements?
>
>I was wondering if any Institutions are requiring specific HIPAA compliance
>language in their subcontract templates to other Institutions?
>
>If so, is the HIPAA language required just in clinical trial subagreements
>or in research agreements as well?
>Is it required in federal (NIH) subagreements?
>
>(For those who wouldn't mind sharing their required HIPAA language, it
>would be much appreciated).
