Coral Springs, FL USA – VISTAMATIC, a world leading designer and manufacturer of privacy glass for observation control, releases the first Case Study of 2015 with the New Parkland Hospital.

At nearly twice the size of the current hospital, the new Parkland Hospital was designed to meet both the present and future needs of Dallas County. The hospital is one of the first “digital hospitals” in the United States, featuring technological advances that didn't even exist when planning began more than a decade ago.

As Parkland Health & Hospital System's Senior Vice President of New Parkland Construction, Lou Saksen told the Dallas Morning News, “This building is a whole new world. It’s no longer electrical or mechanical, it’s digital—run by a keypad, not a wrench.”

Patient rooms were also upgraded; each room is private and twice the size of the current rooms, improving infection control, allowing families to stay with patients and to play a larger role in the healing process.

In addition to all the upgrades in size, infrastructure, and technology, the important decision was made to include products from VISTAMATIC in the new Parkland Hospital as the product of choice for their integral blind needs.

“The product [VISTAMATIC] is in all locations that we would have typically specified integral blinds,” says English. “VISTAMATIC’s role during the design process was critical.

They worked directly with the architects and the end users to come up with a solution that met everyone’s needs. After installing mockup versions of the product they took the feedback on the lever closure that was provided and modified the product for an improved solution.”
