When it opens in May 2015, the 2.5-million-square-foot, $1.3 billion Parkland Hospital complex will have 17-stories, 865 private rooms, 27 operating rooms and 96 neonatal intensive care rooms and 12 intensive care beds in its burn center.
Parkland Health & Hospital System will be linked to nearby Dallas by a new light rail station, according to an article on the Health Facilities Management website. The totally wireless facility incorporates many clinical, operational and structural innovations.
For example, every high-tech, high-touch VoIP telephone has a camera and a screen. When a nurse answers a patient's call, the two will see and hear each other, the article said.
