Is it possible to meet the standards of the bold research model proposed by Peek et al in this issue of Annals of Family Medicine? And if it is possible, would it be worth the effort and investment required? In their "5R" model, the authors posit that health care delivery research could not only be relevant, applied, and implemented, it could also be participatory (all stakeholders), grant funded (rapidly), published (quickly and retrievable), continued in the operational workflows of the practice setting (if successful), and replicable in other practice settings.
