Research	R0052 — Methodology Claims
Run	2026-03-31
Claim	C010

Claim: The NAS published 21 standards with 82 elements of performance organized across four stages of review.

BLUF: The claim is substantially correct. The IOM report 'Finding What Works in Health Care' does recommend 21 standards organized across four stages (initiating, finding/assessing, synthesizing, reporting). The 82-element count is reported in secondary sources but could not be independently verified from the primary document due to access limitations.

Probability: Very likely (80-95%) | Confidence: Medium
