Rationale

Dimension Rationale
Reliability Government-hosted (NIH/NLM) full text of the IOM report. NCBI Bookshelf is the authoritative repository for government-published health research texts.
Relevance Contains the explicit quote "The committee recommends 21 standards with 82 elements of performance." This is the critical source for the 82-element count, which is the hardest numerical claim to verify.
Bias flags No concerns. Government hosting of a National Academies report. Direct reproduction of the original text.
