Long Citation
Dr. R. Brian Haynes is the world leader in medical information research and knowledge translation as a means to improve clinical and health care through improving the retrieval, distillation, synthesis, dissemination and application of validated health care knowledge. He was the first person ever to systematically research a worldwide array of clinical medical journal articles on diagnosis, prognosis, therapeutics, economics, and quality-of-care, establishing that less than 1% of them were both scientifically valid and clinically applicable. He then led the worldwide scientific effort to correct this deficiency by creating a health knowledge refinery and leading the scientific development of both evidence-based journals and internet information services.
