UNC Housestaff is the first application of its kind. It allows easy access to a phone directory for UNC Hospitals, provides a convenient paging system for individual residents or programs, gives easy access to useful websites, and has a database of useful medical resources, including pertinent protocols and charts for UNC.

Feature details:

Directory:
- Easily search by unit/floor name or by the phone number (reverse look-up for number-only pages)
- For iPhone users - dial the number right from the app!
- New for iPhone and iPad - dial number in Skype if installed on your device
- WakeMed numbers also included!

Paging System:
- Options to search for resident name, select resident by program/year, or select entire programs to page at once
- Pages are sent as emails, so you must be connected to the internet to use this system
- NOTE: Your email address will be sent with the page, so these pages are not anonymous. Be careful what you send!

Websites:
- Convenient access to useful websites
- WebCIS is available, although not all features are available through iOS devices
- UpToDate access is available if you are on the UNC Hospitals or WakeMed WiFi network

Documents:
- Useful documents organized by program
- Open documents in other compatible apps (such as iBooks!), print to a compatible printer directly from the app, or email the document

Also new in 4.0:
- Support for iOS 8 and the larger displays of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus!
