  • Challenges in message transmission impact patient care and health outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore challenges in health message transmission and reception.
  • To examine the role of feedback and feed-forward in improving communication effectiveness.
  • To propose strategies for enhancing health communication in complex future environments.
