Must fieldwork contracts be updated to include a HIPAA statement?

For any site that is required to meet HIPAA guidelines, the contract should be updated to reflect any changes in responsibility by the school or the site. This is true with any fieldwork contractual agreement – the contract should reflect shared responsibilities as well as individual responsibilities of the school and the fieldwork site. The school or fieldwork site can choose to initiate these changes per contract guidelines.
