Our method integrates a simulation model in a genetic algorithm which uses a probabilistic method for selection of the best policy. We present computational results about the efficiency of our algorithm. The best policy generated by our algorithm is compared to previously recommended screening policies. Using the policies determined by our model, we present evidence that patients should be screened more aggressively but for a shorter length of time than previously published guidelines recommended.}, number={4}, journal={HEALTH CARE MANAGEMENT SCIENCE}, author={Underwood, Daniel J. and Zhang, Jingyu and Denton, Brian T. and Shah, Nilay D. and Inman, Brant A.}, year={2012}, month={Dec}, pages={293–309} }
