A Model for Check-Up Processes In Health Care Systems Using Genetic Algorithms

Abstract

This paper examines the appropriate route determination in check-up process for minimizing the time wasted through the process. In this recent research, health information systems are explained and a framework is presented. The clinics to be visited are assumed to be predetermined. A genetic algorithm based Quadratic Assignment Problem structure is proposed as a new approach for time minimization through the process.
