It is possible for the medical records to stay in the room with the patients. They used to take the patients clipboards and medical records on the outside of the door, but now they do not do so. It is has actually been discontinued a long time ago due to security reasons. People would take medical records of the patients in a room and dress up as a doctor and create fake badges and be impersonated as a doctor. So, no, they cannot keep the medical records in a room with a patient.

What happens in the ER?
Emergency rooms are busy places where medical staff work quickly to assess, diagnose, and treat patients with urgent needs. In an emergency room setting, the medical staff can include doctors, nurses, radiologists, respiratory therapists, and other medical specialists. Depending on the severity of the patient's condition, the medical staff may also include paramedics, mental health professionals, and social workers. Patients typically enter an emergency room through the admitting area, where registration and insurance information will be collected. A triage nurse will assess the patient's condition and determine the order in which they will receive treatment. The patient will then be directed to the appropriate area of the ER, such as the medical evaluation area, the radiology department, the laboratory, or the mental health unit. During their stay, the patient may receive treatment, diagnostic tests, and/or surgery. After the medical staff has determined the course of treatment, the patient will be discharged and given instructions for follow-up care. Overall, an ER visit requires quick assessment and action by medical staff in order to provide the best care for the patient.

Hi I'm Dr Spencer! When a medical record is put in a file. It depends on the colour. Green - Low Priority Brown - Important but may need more assistance Yellow - Serious Red - Critical, the patient is suffering from a disease such as parkinson's or even brain damage. They stay in an office until the case is checked, if you leave the hospital it will go underground to a High Security safe. Full of files. (No more said). Normally they stay in a office for 1 year to 15 months. Hope I helped, Thanks, Dr Spencer,
Can family members be in the same room with a coding patient?
No, they cannot be. If a patient is "coding", which means they require resuscitation, the family will be told to leave the room. Refusal will result in the calling of security or a nearby police officer, whichever is nearest. The reason family cannot stay in a room while a patient is being resuscitated is because aside from being extremely stressful to see, the family will be in the way. They would be crying and yelling (so the doctors can't hear each other clearly) and trying to get to the patient (getting in the way of the doctors, tripping on equipment), which will just slow down the doctors and lower the patient's chance of survival.
