Greatest Generation Health Approach • Authoritative Healthcare Doctrine – “We [system] know best” • Designed to establish provider authority and drive patient compliance through direction and one way communication which is consistent with the values of the generation it was designed to serve • This generation typically does not question healthcare authority, i.e. physicians, nurses, social workers, etc… Greatest Generation “Involve Me” Generation • Typical age today – 60’s and 70’s • The generation of workaholics, skepticism and distrust of the government • Boomers expect the healthcare system to be a two-way street and are VERY VOCAL regarding decision making Baby Boomers Health Approach • Challenges Authority • Pushes back against “Authoritative” Healthcare • This is the generation of the HIE (to facilitate two-way communication and shared decision-making.) • Birth of the “Consumer” – they want a provider to engage in a discussion of the treatment regimen or they will look for other options or alternative providers Baby Boomers “Educate Me” Generation • Typical age today – 40’s and 50’s • This generation is all about work life balance after witnessing their parents
