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.

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.
