MD-Staff vs Verifiable (2026)
An established standalone platform against a Salesforce native CVO, and organisational fit decides it. MD-Staff is the incumbent system of record: a four decade credentialing, privileging, and peer review platform run by a hospital's own medical staff office, deployed across a reported 2,000 facilities, Best in KLAS five years running, candid that AI does not make decisions, and dependent on no particular CRM. Verifiable runs credentialing natively inside the customer's Salesforce instance, alongside CRM data and in infrastructure the customer already governs, as an NCQA certified CVO offering software, services, or both, which is a strong fit for Salesforce shops and a poor one otherwise. Both keep AI light, graded C. If your failure mode is a proven standalone platform your team operates, start with MD-Staff. If your organisation runs on Salesforce and wants credentialing native to it, start with Verifiable.
- A complete, proven system of record: credentialing, privileging, peer review, and committee tooling run by the customer's own staff, in place across a reported 2,000 facilities over four decades, named Best in KLAS five consecutive years, with no dependency on any particular CRM.
- The clearest AI boundary in the category, graded A on autonomy: MD-Staff states plainly that AI does not make decisions, its Aiva engine handling gathering and checks while the professional reviews flagged discrepancies.
- Range across organisation size, scaled explicitly from small community hospitals to large state health systems, and a specific verification integration list spanning AMA, NPDB, OIG, and SAM.
- A native fit for Salesforce organisations: credentialing runs inside the customer's own Salesforce instance, alongside CRM data and in infrastructure the customer already governs, which is also a meaningful residency answer.
- An NCQA certified CVO with flexible delivery: license the software in house, use the certified verification services, or combine them, with a reported throughput upwards of 225 packets per specialist per month.
- A newer, automation first build for organisations that want credentialing embedded in their existing operational system rather than a standalone platform.

Side by Side
Each record in one paragraph
Written to be quoted whole. Each paragraph states what the AI Health Index verified about the vendor, with the caveats attached. Generated from this pair’s live capability grades, so it moves when a grade moves.
The AI Health Index awards MD-Staff its top capability grade on Autonomy and Oversight Model. Set against Verifiable, MD-Staff grades higher on Autonomy and Oversight Model and Deployment Model and Data Residency. Its thinnest published disclosure sits on AI Liability and Recourse. Grades reflect evidence the AI Health Index could verify at the last review, so a low grade records disclosure the vendor has not published rather than a capability it has been shown to lack.

Questions buyers ask
Should we choose MD-Staff or Verifiable?
On the axes where the AI Health Index separates them, MD-Staff grades higher on Autonomy and Oversight Model and Deployment Model and Data Residency, and Verifiable grades higher on FDA and Regulatory Status and AI Liability and Recourse. Neither leads on the greater share of scored axes, so the decision turns on which constraint is binding rather than on an overall winner.
Where do MD-Staff and Verifiable differ most?
The widest separation the AI Health Index records between MD-Staff and Verifiable is on Autonomy and Oversight Model, where MD-Staff grades A and Verifiable grades B. That axis sits in the AI Capability group, so it should carry the most weight for a buyer whose binding constraint is how much of the work the model itself is trusted to do.
Where do MD-Staff and Verifiable grade the same?
The AI Health Index grades MD-Staff and Verifiable the same on several axes, including AI Centrality, Model and Technology Transparency and Model Supply Chain Disclosure. Neither holds an advantage the index can evidence on those axes, so they should not carry weight in a selection between these two.
What have MD-Staff and Verifiable not disclosed?
At the last review, at least one of MD-Staff and Verifiable published thin or absent detail on AI Liability and Recourse. The AI Health Index treats an absent disclosure as a gap in the public record rather than a failure of the product, so these are the axes to get in writing during diligence instead of inferring from the grade.

Both grade C on AI centrality and both are platforms rather than pure services, but they suit different organisations. MD-Staff is a standalone system of record with four decades of adoption and no stack dependency, and it is not a CVO. Verifiable is a Salesforce native CVO whose fit is gated almost entirely by whether the organisation runs on Salesforce, a strong fit there and a poor one elsewhere.
MD-Staff earns an A on autonomy for candour about AI limits where Verifiable sits at B. Evidence is thin and vendor reported on both, C on each, MD-Staff leaning on adoption and Best in KLAS, Verifiable on a concrete throughput figure. Neither publishes pricing or model accuracy, though both name their integration surfaces. The decision turns on standalone platform versus Salesforce native, and on whether you want a CVO or a system your own team runs.
