Scientific contribution

One focus of Scherer's scientific work is the development of quality indicators in the context of health services research methods. The aim here is the measurability of quality in health care with the help of quality indicators that are developed for this purpose. Scherer is also working on systematic reviews and meta-analyzes. In the context of randomized controlled studies , the highest levels of medical efficiency are developed and the effectiveness of medical / diagnostic measures can be proven. As spokesman for DEGAM, Scherer is involved in the development of guidelines. Another focus of Scherer is multimorbidity . As part of the Chronic Disease Score study, a multimorbidity index is being developed and validated, which can be used to assess the burden of disease in chronically ill patients in Germany based on medication data. In his role as Co-Principal Investigator, Scherer and Hendrik van den Bussche (Principal Investigator) developed the MultiCare Claims Study funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research ( BMBF ). This dealt with the question of whether the approach according to which individual diseases and their interactions are more relevant for multimorbidity or whether it is less the diseases than the subjective consequences for the patient. Also in the role of Co-Principal Investigator, Scherer, together with Wolfgang Maier, is in charge of the AgeCoDe study for dementia and is the principal investigator of the RECODE study for heart failure . Finally, Scherer deals with over-, under- and target supply. To this end, a guideline is currently being developed with which a contribution can be made to avoiding over- and undersupply.
