This is why the patient's data needs to be in their possession and control so they can share and use as they see fit.

Under HIPAA you have a right to access your health information.[0] (with some minor exceptions) Just ask and you will be able to get it if you need it.

Sadly it doesn't mean that when they give it to you it will be in a reasonable form, or even free (they're allowed to charge a per page processing fee). I work in this space

Correct, it is hard to get in a useful form. Then if you want to share it with a different Provider on an different EMR, it is non trivial to get that data imported into your data record.
