Discussion 8-1: Put on your “customer hat” and visit a hospital website of your choice (and do not forget to cite your selection at the end of your posting). What eHealth options did you find? Do you think this particular hospital exploits eHealth to maximum advantage? What functionality or information would you add to this hospital’s website to improve eHealth services?

Discussion 8-2: Imagine that you are a public health advocate residing in a country outside of the United States. Present one or two examples of social, cultural, or political barriers to eHealth adoption in your country. How would you address these barriers to secure buy-in from governmental authorities?
