This is concerning in all kinds of ways, but perhaps most of all, for patients with complicated medical records and lots of history, it seems like this would really make it hard for their new doctor to get a full picture.

Indeed. I once tried to get a report emailed to me but policy was that the report be printed from a computer into a hard copy and then faxed to me. We also still use pagers too. It’s insane
