Main finding
As reported in the abstract
FLS framework
- Four main stages of FLS identified: patient identification, investigation, intervention and integration or continuity of care
- Quality and information span across all stages
- Two-dimensional framework: columns (Who, Where, When, What, How, Quality) intersecting rows (Identification, Investigation, Intervention, continuity of care) yield a set of questions, answered in tabular form from the scoping review
