3. Workforce Development: Investing in the education and training of healthcare professionals, particularly in underserved areas, can alleviate workforce shortages.
4. Community Outreach: Engaging with communities through outreach programs can improve health literacy and encourage the use of preventive services.
5. Cultural Competence: Enhancing cultural competence within healthcare organizations can reduce disparities and improve patient satisfaction.
