The recent focus on collaborative relationships in health care means that people and groups must cooperate to accomplish clinical and management tasks.

Negotiating strategies, based on Fisher and Ury's method of "principled negotiation," include establishing superordinate goals, separating the people from the problem, focussing on interests, inventing options, using objective criteria and defining success in terms of gains.
