Myrtle Beach, S.C.-based OrthoSC has partnered with the Hurt! mobile application to provide patients with one-on-one emergency care and consultations.
The app connects patients with bone, joint or muscle injuries to local orthopedic providers for immediate care, according to a March 1 press release sent to Becker's.
Surgeons from one of OrthoSC's locations will then contact patients for follow-up care needs. Hurt allows patients real-time, 24/7 access to care navigators, enabling them to avoid costly emergency room visits.
OrthoSC is the 15th orthopedic group in the country to partner with the app.
