Abstract

Position of nurses in hospitals has a vital role in providing medical services to patients. Still, these nurses often cannot offer high-quality work due to the enormous workload, and this is in line with previous research that conducted questionnaires on 364 nurses who stated that most nurses had 2.875 working hours/week excess. Because of these problems, in this study, a geofencing system was created which is used to monitor the presence of nurses in hospitals using the pull service technique so that nurses get the feature to be able to turn on geofence when starting work and entering the hospital, and also turning off geofence when finished working and leaving the hospital. Geofencing in this study is set at a radius of 200m or equivalent to the area of Azra Hospital, which is 20,323m². Based on the geofencing accuracy test, the system can produce native real-time positioning with an error rate of 1.4 to 3.7 m and has a time delay of 4.45 to 15.30 seconds for user position switching, depending on the device used.
