I do agree that the context of conflict should be understood carefully and analysed with respect to the current Guidelines/Rulings. The same should be communicated to the higher officials providing them with a possible solution(s) with assurance of providing support to make necessary corrections in the processes. A respectful but assertive attitude will be useful in solving the conflict. This will have a very reassuring effect and will give the agency the confidence to go ahead with provided solutions.

The first step is to understand the context of the conflict. What is the source of the disagreement? What are the legal and ethical implications? What are the interests and expectations of each party? How does the conflict affect your stakeholders, such as patients, staff, partners, and funders? By gathering relevant information and analyzing the situation, you can identify the main issues and potential solutions

Actively listen to their perspectives and try to grasp the broader context of their decisions. By engaging in a constructive dialogue, you can establish a foundation for resolving misunderstandings and collaboratively finding solutions that align with regulatory requirements.

Resolving conflicts with external agencies in healthcare often involves effective communication, understanding each party's goals and constraints, finding common ground, and seeking mutually beneficial solutions. This can be achieved through negotiation, mediation, or involving neutral third parties if necessary.

At no point should the govt agencies get the impression that you are working 'against' them. Try to couch your proposals and ideas in 'politically correct' language to assuage their fears.

In this situation we attempted to politely, thoughtfully, navigate the request and have our surveyors review our rationale and reasoning for our actions. After all the only purpose of regulations is to protect patients. That’s something both providers and regulators can always agree.
