Yes, EHR vendors are really opponents/gatekeepers here. They don't benefit from you getting your data out of the EHR and in my experience they weren't really open to it.

Interoperability is really driven by either state/federal reporting requirements, or billing. And there is no incentive for EHR vendors or their client hospital systems to go beyond the exact minimum to get paid.
