Case Study: Staff Augmentation Program

At QualityHub, we have experience in staff augmentation for several types of companies and roles. Here are four examples of staff augmentation case studies to give you some background on that experience.

Overcoming Staffing Issues to Gain Compliance

A leader in In-Vitro Diagnostics (henceforth referred to as the Client) reached out to QualityHub to overcome resource constraints and return to compliance. This pioneering company is known for its sophisticated diagnostics systems for acute patient treatment. Despite its success, the Client was still plagued by long-standing systemic issues. Due to FDA enforcement, the Client committed to performing a retrospective review and remediation of approximately 30,000 legacy complaint records. The Client also committed to completing the project under an aggressive deadline — a challenge compounded by limited staffing and a lack of experience.
