FHIR was supposed to be the interopt but the end results look more like schemaless blobs of contained fields. But hey, at least I can find all the data related to a patient ID, I guess.

There's actually been significant progress towards interop in the last 10 years. HIEs (Health Information Exchanges) such as CommonWell are steadily improving and covering more patients.
Recently there's been a big push for TEFCA (Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement) as the network-of-networks that federates all the different HIEs. It's been slow, but it's progressing.
As usual, the problem isn't really technological -- it's getting all these different stakeholders, with different business models, etc, to agree on how it should work.
