I spoke at the Real World of Ophthalmology meeting on “Avoiding Embezzlement.” The PowerPoint presentation will have a QR Code link to this page. I include links to valuable resources below.
Stay tuned as I’ll continue to add resources to this page!
These are top resources I’ve found on avoiding embezzlement. Many common themes and filled with actionable pearls:
- Sara Burns Rapuano, MBA, OCS, “Protecting Your Practice from Embezzlement.”. (AAO/AAOE Practice Management). April 9, 2018.
- 11 Signs There’s an Embezzler in Your Eye Care Practice (EyeCareLeaders blog)
- Aaron N. Waite, MD, PCEO, and Jenifer Martin, BS, “Seven ideas to detect, deter embezzlement.” (Ophthalmology Management). January 1, 2018.
- Frost C. Embezzlement in the Medical Practice – Are you at Risk? The Employee Profile, Methodology and Processes (PDF). Accessed April 2, 2022.
- Protect your practice: Prevent, detect, deter embezzlement. Article which covered my presentation. Ocular Surgery News. April 12, 2022.
A great question was asked on leadership and growing a practice. I would recommend many books including:
