Samples were taken by total sampling for the nurses (54 respondents) and accidental sampling for patients (54 respondents). The research instruments were questionnaire and direct observation. The research datas were analized using multivariat logistic regression by backward LR. Result: The result showed that the dominant factors correlated with the implementation of the triage was the performance factor (p value. 0,002), the patient factor (p value = 0.011), and the staffi ng factor (p value. 0.017). Discussion: The hospital management can increase the work motivation,then optimize the nurses by giving a job description clearly and improve nursing service quality through Triage Offi cer Course.
