 == '''About Me''' ==
-* I'm a Ph.D. student in Architecture at Georgia Tech, specializing in the area, ACB (Architecture, Culture, and Behavior). I got my Bachelor's degree in architectural engineering and had some time for practice back in Korea and came here at Tech for the professional degree in Architecture. Currently I'm very intersted in the role of physical environment such as addressing the needs of care model & process and then, involving in enhancing process and quality of care.

 * I'm also a mother of 16 months old boy! He is a very healthy and happy boy! I can't imagine being in a hospital with him... Just imagining that is quite terrifying... It would be out of imagination being actually in a hospital with the little one... I hope I can really understand their (families and children) feelings and needs and can reflect those into the design of the pediatric health center.

		+	- The design of the new facility is much more conducive to the performance of good infection control practices; for example, ward beds are segregated into 1- to 4-bed rooms, with a sink at each room entrance, and intensive care unit (ICU) beds are individually partitioned, each with at least 2 dedicated sinks. The New Brooke Army Medical Center stands in marked contrast to Old Brooke Army Medical Center, which had 12- to 35-bed open wards and ICUs, and a dearth of sinks for handwashing

		+	- Radical facility design changes, which would be permissive of optimal infection control practices, were not sufficient, by themselves, to reduce the nosocomial spread of MRSA in our institution.
