2. From a management perspective what steps need to take place following this incident, for the patient, for the family, for the staff?

3. Reflect on the process of interdisciplinary care and collaboration. What can be learned from this incident? What measures must be instituted to avoid such an occurrence in the future?

1. Set a time horizon. Break into two parts if there is a major change such as children getting “off the payroll”.

2. Choose an annual rate of return (and say whence you chose it).

3. Estimate average annual inflation going forward.

4. Set amount and currency you can or wish to invest each year. Escalate with inflation or your expected earning power. (Note “1” above_

5. Come to the total nestegg in the year of retirement.

6. What is the value of that future nestegg in today’s currency (i.e. how has inflation eroded its purchasing power?)
