Robert Brian Haynes OC is a Canadian physician, clinical epidemiologist, researcher and an academic. He is professor emeritus at McMaster University and one of the founders of evidence-based medicine.[1]

Haynes has published more than 390 articles in peer reviewed journals and has authored/edited 14 books including Clinical Epidemiology: A Basic Science for Clinical Medicine and Evidence-Based Medicine: How to Practice and Teach. His research interests include improving health care through knowledge translation and applying the findings of high-quality health-care research in clinical practice settings. He is involved with development and testing of evidence-based information products and services in clinical care.[2]

Haynes is an Officer of Order of Canada.[3] His work has been acknowledged through awards, peer elections and honorary fellowships from national and international organizations. Major honors include a National Health Scientist Career Award from Health Canada,[4] the American College of Physicians Rosenthal Award,[5] Hypertension Canada George Fodor Award and Council of Biology Editors Award for Meritorious Achievement. He is fellow of Royal Society of Canada and Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and an Honorary Fellow of American Medical Writers Association.[6]

Education[edit]

Haynes completed his pre-medical studies from University of Calgary in 1967 and then enrolled in the Faculty of Medicine at University of Alberta until 1971. During this time, he was an MRC Summer Research Fellow in Physiology and Pharmacology and completed his BSc. Degree in 1969.[4] In 1971, he was awarded a gold medal upon his completion of M.D. degree. He completed his M.Sc. and Ph.D., under David Sackett from McMaster University in 1973 and 1975 respectively. In 1977, he became a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of Canada (internal medicine).[7]

Career[edit]

Right after his Ph.D., Haynes was employed as a Senior Medical Resident at Toronto General Hospital in 1975. From 1977 till 1981, he taught at McMaster University as an Assistant Professor and was promoted to Associate Professor in 1981. During this time, he was associated with University of Toronto as a Visiting Health Scientist. Haynes taught as a Professor at McMaster University from 1985 till 2016 and then retired as Professor Emeritus. He also chaired the Department of Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics at McMaster from 1998 till 2008.[4]

He is an inaugural member of the Cochrane Collaboration Cochrane (organisation), a member of its first board; he started and led the Canadian Cochrane Center and Network.[8]

Research and work[edit]

Haynes' research focuses on improving health care through knowledge translation, clinical epidemiology, application of the validated health care knowledge, development and testing of evidence based information products related to clinical care, randomized trials of medical and surgical procedures. He has also worked on patient compliance with therapeutic regimens.

Haynes published an article in 1976 about improving patient compliance in hypertension. He assigned 38 hypertensive and medically non-compliant steel workers to either control or experimental groups and taught them to measure their blood pressures and create charts about their blood pressures. He also assigned the experimental group weekly visits from a non-professional high school graduate who reinforced regular pill taking behavior. As a result of this experiment, compliance of the control group decreased while it increased in the experimental group.[9] In an article in 1979 about clinical measurements and detection of patient noncompliance, he stressed the importance of measuring patient compliance accurately in order to manage low patient compliance. He devised and evaluated methods of assessing a patient's medical compliance and suggested against using a patient's health beliefs, traits and perceptions as criteria for measurement of compliance.[10] Haynes then shifted his research focus on documenting the problems of evidence handling by practitioners and proposing solutions. He wrote an article explaining the constraints faced by medical practitioners in handling research and clinical evidence. Haynes suggests the use of measurement principles and information tools to reduce the inaccuracy in the data gathering, interpretation, communication and application of the research evidence for patient care.[11]

Haynes worked on evidence retrieval from bibliographic databases and published over 50 articles on the theme of 'Developing optimal search strategies for detecting clinically sound studies in MEDLINE' as well as EMBASE, CINAHL, and PsycLIT. He aimed to design efficient search strategies and conducted a survey about the characteristics of search strategies for studies that would provide higher quality evidence for use by clinical practitioners (medicine, nursing, rehabilitation). He pioneered the use of machine learning to empirically determine the optimal search filters for various types of studies (e.g., prevention, treatment, diagnosis, prognosis, causation, quality improvement and cost-effectiveness).[12] His research validates the empirical search strategies for enhancing the retrieval of articles.[13] After the documentation and retrieval of evidence, Haynes worked on synthesizing the evidence retrieved. He authored a review with his colleagues about the interventions to encourage people to follow medical prescriptions. He summarized the results collected from randomized controlled trials of interventions. The article concluded that there is a dire need for innovation in the methods to assist and encourage patients to follow the medical prescriptions.[14] Haynes' research has resulted in structured abstracts of medical journal articles along with online search filters such as "Clinical Queries" which are often used by MEDLINE, EMBASE and other bibliographic databases. He created the Health Knowledge Refinery at McMaster University's Health Information Research Unit which provides organizations, clinicians and medical textbook publishers and authors with current and most effective evidence for practice. He is one of the originators of Evidence-Based Medicine, led by David Sackett, along with Gordon Guyatt, Peter Tugwell and Deborah Cook) for which his work has been critically acclaimed.[15]
