The history and development of health services research in Germany is closely linked to the career path of Prof. Holger Pfaff. His excellent achievements as a bridge-builder between different faculties, as a pioneer and founding father of health services research in Germany and his international networking were honored in all eleven laudatory speeches at the symposium.
Holger Pfaff has conducted research that generates evidence on the structures, processes and outcomes of healthcare and their determinants. In doing so, he has laid important foundations for evidence-based decisions in healthcare. Most recently, together with Jochen Schmitt, he published a series of articles that show a path from theoretical best evidence to practical best evidence in order to remain capable of decision making in crisis situations and during structural change processes [1] [2] [3]. He sees the methodological support and promotion of the transfer of scientific findings into practice as an essential task of health services research to achieve improved care and health for the general public. As Chairman of the Expert Advisory Board of the Innovation Fund, he has made a decisive contribution to ensuring that health services research plays an increasingly important role in the health policy landscape and that changes in the healthcare system are driven forward on the basis of evidence.
