Most dental practice owners focus their security concerns on employees — and rightly so. But the threats to your practice don't stop at the front door. Prosperident's Amber Weber, David Harris, and Wendy Askins turn their investigative lens outward, examining the external threats that can cause serious financial and operational damage to a dental practice.
Topics covered include:
- Burglary and physical security vulnerabilities in dental practices
- How dental offices are targeted for controlled substance theft
- Medication scams and diversion schemes affecting dental practices
- Identity theft targeting both practices and patients
- Vendor fraud and external billing scams
- How criminals research and select dental practices as targets
- Physical and procedural security measures that deter external threats
- How external and internal threats sometimes work together
- Insurance considerations for external theft and loss
A secure practice is one that is vigilant about threats from every direction.
