Claim: NAS published 21 standards with 82 elements across four stages for systematic reviews.
BLUF: Confirmed. The IOM (operating under the National Academies) published
"Finding What Works in Health Care" (2011) containing 21 standards with 82
elements of performance across four stages of the systematic review process. The
"NAS" attribution is colloquially acceptable but technically imprecise -- the
publishing body was the IOM.
Probability: Almost certain (97%) | Confidence: High
