In my (relatively limited) experience, most small medical offices pay for cloud-based EHRs on a subscription basis for this exact reason. Have you observed differently?
With regards to the usefulness of medical records, I don't know enough on the topic to address that point.

That mostly increases the size of the bucket without much in terms of guarantees of the maintainers of that bucket getting it right.
At best mostly subjective observations, at worst full of outright errors, they're largely useless from a health care perspective let alone for research purposes.
