North Florida Bone & Joint Specialists (NFBJS) has partnered with the Hurt! smartphone app to offer patients with acute orthopaedic injuries 24/7 access to orthopaedic specialists. Free to download through the App Store and Google Play, the app uses human-to-human interaction that connects patients with an expert care navigator in real time, 365 days a year.

“The Hurt! app is really a revolutionary access point for patients across the panhandle and southern Alabama who have orthopaedic injuries, whether they are acute or chronic,” said Carroll Papajohn, Executive Director of North Florida Bone and Joint Specialists.

“What this app allows you to do, regardless of whether or not you’re an established patient in our practice, is contact an orthopaedic care expert 24/7, 365 days a year. These individuals will help triage an individual patient’s injury, whether it’s chronic or acute, to determine if you need to go to the emergency room or can we get you in tomorrow or the next day with an appointment with one of our subspecialists? It allows immediate access. There’s no need for referrals. There’s no charge to a patient’s insurance.”
