Medical records are sensitive and contain personal health information that must be protected under privacy laws (e.g., HIPAA in the U.S., GDPR in the EU). Keeping them separate from general employee data ensures privacy protection, limiting access to authorized personnel only and reducing the risk of unauthorized disclosure.
* Option A (Emergency use): While medical records may be used in emergencies, this is not the primary reason for separation.
