Such a standard has existed for decades. It’s called HL7

Working in healthcare, let me tell you that it’s not just on your end. There needs to be a national standard for transmitting data. Getting faxes from other facilities and then having them scanned in is a fucking pain in the ass. It does not even attempt OCR. All your diagnostics will be done again. Patients tend to not know how to navigate the release of that information to the new facility half the time. So in those moments where that information is useful, it doesn’t get to the providers that need it.

It only works if it’s implemented, I still see regular scanned in records instead of linked records.

Yes but that is not due to a lack of standard for electronic communication.
Sometimes you have to deal with providers that do not have digital records, sometimes they are old medical records that were not digitized, sometimes the insurance companies do it on purpose to drag things out
