Thanks! Are they all interconnected, so that if I use a service like https://www.medicare.gov/manage-your-health/medicares-blue-button-blue-button-20 https://www.medicare.gov/manage-your-health/medicares-blue-b... I will get the collected records from different doctor visits at different hospitals?

They are not all interconnected. Most providers have some sort of connectivity to a regional health information exchange network, but there are a lot of gaps and interoperability problems. Blue Button 2.0 is helpful but currently it only gives authorized providers access to your Medicare claims (if you're a Medicare beneficiary), which have limited clinical value. Getting a copy of your full chart requires going through other channels.
