Standalone HIPAA Forms

Seattle Children’s incorporates HIPAA authorization language into the informed consent documentation whenever possible. However, there may be circumstances where a standalone HIPAA form must be used (e.g., if an external IRB requires it).

When using the standalone HIPAA form, it should not be altered, except where it is allowed within the form. If editable fields within a translated standalone HIPAA form are changed, a new certified translation must be obtained.

New studies approved on or after July 17, 2026, must use Seattle Children’s current version of the standalone HIPAA form. Current versions of the standalone HIPAA form (including translations) are available under the Templates tab of the Click IRB Library. Previous versions are provided below for reference.
