When a healthcare organization is contracting with an outside provider for services, the subcontractor must

  1. Have a competitively priced service

  2. Have an active risk management program

  3. Meet all regulatory requirements

  4. Provide a representative to the Quality Council

The correct answer is: Have a competitively priced service

When a healthcare organization is contracting with an outside provider for services, it is crucial for the subcontractor to have a competitively priced service. This is essential because healthcare organizations need to ensure that they are receiving value for the services they are contracting out. While it is important for subcontractors to meet all regulatory requirements and have an active risk management program to ensure quality and compliance, these factors do not directly address the financial aspect of the services provided. Having a representative on the Quality Council may be beneficial for collaboration and quality improvement initiatives, but it is not a requirement for subcontractors to have in order to provide competitively priced services.
