Cigna has offered the Health System $5 PMPM to implement a new comprehensive medication management initiative. There are currently 8,000 Cigna members attributed to the Jefferson Health System. Hiring a full-time pharmacist, with benefits, costs the health system $150,000 per year. Due to union rules, pharmacists cannot work over-time or part-time. Assuming Jefferson wishes to use its budget to hire as many pharmacists as possible, health system will hire _ pharmacists.
