Team Member of the Month -- Deborah Long
 
 
Do not let her considerable Southern charm fool you. In a company that we like to think is filled with smart people, Debbie stands out. She oversees Prosperident's fastest-growing service, Owner Proactive Strategies (OPS). OPS involves a thorough review of a practice's systems to identify and correct the weaknesses that embezzlers exploit.
 
Debbie's background includes a degree in accounting and computer science, and extensive work experience in public accounting, technology, and dental practices.

Something to Talk About...
 
 
Prevention v. Preparedness
 
“Be Prepared.” Great advice from Robert Baden-Powell, founder of the Boy Scouts over a century ago, and completely applicable to today’s dental practice owners.
 
Prosperident is about to celebrate 30 years of business, and during those 30 years, my team and I have been asked countless times for our unique insight on how to “prevent” embezzlement. Almost everyone who asks us is astounded when we answer; “You can’t.” Please, let me explain.
 
To prevent embezzlement, you must know and block every possible path a thief could use to relieve you of your money. During our decades in business, we have identified literally hundreds of ways that dental office team members have stolen from their doctors, and with new methods and variations regularly emerging during our investigations, we will guarantee you that no matter what you’ve read or been told; preventing embezzlement is impossible.
 
When you read a well-intended article about “The 10 Things You Must Do to Prevent Embezzlement,” or you are tempted to take the advice of an “expert” who is trying to sell you monthly monitoring services of your practice as a prevention tool, these folks do not understand embezzlement or the deviant mindset of embezzlers.
 
However, there is hope! Just because you can’t prevent embezzlement, doesn’t mean you can’t control it. If you are a practice owner who doesn’t currently suspect theft, and you’d like to keep it that way, having proven systems in place to detect and eliminate theft in its early stages is preparedness, and that’s where my team and I are happy to help.
 
Thank you all for making Prosperident a part of the dental community. We appreciate you, and we are here for you. Always.
