Characteristics of programmes designed to link community-dwelling older adults in high-income countries from community to clinical sectors: a scoping review protocol.

Community-clinic linkage models (CCLMs) aim to improve population health by linking the health and community sectors in order to improve patients' access to healthcare and, ultimately, population health.
