Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does disequilibrium between admitted and discharged hospitalized patients affect emergency department length of stay?
Answer: Disequilibrium between the number of admitted and discharged inpatients significantly affects next-day ED length of stay. Better matching of daily hospital discharges and admissions could reduce ED waiting times and may be more amenable to intervention than reducing admissions alone. The admission-discharge ratio may also provide a simple way of tracking and enhancing hospital system performance.
Output (English): yes
