I have always been a fervent supporter of holding ALL HANDS MEETINGS regularly at workplaces.
Through regular all hands meetings such issues can be identified and corrective actions taken.
I see that feedback is the main source for identifying communications barriers. It confirms whether receivers did receive what you meant to send or not and why. Overcoming identified barriers depends on the barriers themselves. They could e the language, the media, clarity of the message, the forum, timing, culture difference, etc. Each one of those have ways to overcome.
Effective communication is receptive in nature which generates the desired result / objective.
Effective communication has to be simple to be understood easily. It has to be interesting and logical. I feel that power of knowledge, exposure and experience widens the thought process which enables to communicate effective relevant points / message logically.
Strong listening skill also plays an important role in providing room and winning others to be receptive when you communicate.

each type of barrier has a way to cure.
from an org developer point of view, org set up must take into account all the common challenges that might face the performance before applying as a preventive point of identification.then applying the best treatment.
