The hospital needs to design policies that are meant to address inappropriate use of cloning and copy/paste tools which can be found in the documentation template in order to eliminate the issue of cloned documents.
Cloning and copy/paste tools are usually used by the EHR staff to reproduce patients' medical information from previous visits instead of taking new measurements and recording them. This is very dangerous and can have serious and fatal effects. Imagine using a previous blood pressure value for a high blood pressure patient who has come to the hospital for check up without bothering to take a new reading!
