Some personal recommendations to improve the probability of achieving or exceeding the targets (objectives), the following strategies can be considered:
Increasing awareness and education about the importance of health communication.
Implementing evidence-based interventions and social marketing campaigns.
Developing and promoting health literacy programs.
Enhancing communication training for healthcare providers.
Strengthening partnerships between healthcare providers, patients, and communities.
Implementing effective information exchange systems and technologies.

Speaking as a provider in my role as a registered nurse, specific actions to assist in achieving the targets (objectives) can include:
Promoting health literacy and educating patients about their health conditions.
Encouraging patients to discuss their health with friends, family, and providers.
Advocating for private and open communication channels for adolescents during preventive visits.
Engaging in discussions with patients about cancer prevention interventions.
Facilitating access to formal diabetes education for individuals with diabetes.
Participating in emergency preparedness initiatives and ensuring accurate communication during emergencies.
Promoting patient-centered care, involving patients in healthcare decisions, and checking their understanding.
Advocating for culturally sensitive communication practices for patients with limited English proficiency.
Supporting the adoption and use of health IT tools for tracking health data and accessing online medical records.
Collaborating with healthcare teams to ensure the exchange and use of electronic health information
