APD REFERRALS · SECURED TOOL

Where real referrals
happen — safely.

FL Providers' public directory is open and collects zero protected health information. When a referral requires PII, it happens only inside the APD Referrals tool — an isolated, HIPAA-safeguarded environment, separate from the directory by design.

Launch Referral Tool Invitation only — accounts are provisioned by the admin team.
Public Directory

Open to everyone. Real-time guardrails actively block protected data (diagnoses, QSI, medication lists). Zero PHI, ever.

APD Referrals (this tool)

Gated, authenticated workspace where PII is handled under HIPAA-aligned safeguards — the only place protected information is processed.

How we protect PII & PHI
Isolation
Runs on its own subdomain, fully separate from the public directory.
HIPAA-configured Neon Postgres
Protected data is stored encrypted at rest in a HIPAA-configured database.
Invitation-only access
Authenticated via Clerk. No open sign-ups — accounts are provisioned by the admin team.
Access is logged & auditable
Every touch of referral data is recorded for accountability.
Data minimization
PHI never enters the public directory. Protected information lives only inside this tool.
