A hospital’s IT system has been blamed after doctors failed to administer prophylactic anticoagulation to a burns patient who later died of pulmonary emboli.

A coroner has heard that the display of the Electronic Medical Management (eMeds) software, which is used across NSW, was too wide for a computer’s monitor display.
