VALUING PRIVATE FIRMS So far in this book, we have concentrated on the valuation of publicly traded firms.

C’est au médecin coordonnateur qu’il revient de mettre en place ces protocoles de prévention. The elderly and dependent patients admitted to nursing homes are particularly at risk of complications. The most frequent are falls, pressure ulcers, malnutrition and infections. We present here the main recommendations available in France for the prevention of these complications in an institution.
