When I pick up prescriptions these days I get a sheet with a list of all
the prescription medications I have had filled in the last few years. It
lists them and the last refill. If I am getting medications from two ore
more doctors they will appear on that list.

 
If you go to only one pharmacy.  Of course, your health-care
system is not as fragmented as ours.

Yes. I had to check but the list has all the medications from that
pharmacy. Looking at a recent one I see some that were prescribed by my
family doctor, some by my regular cardiologist, some from the temporary
cardiologist (mine on maternity leave), and some antibiotics from my
dentist.  I have a couple prescriptions from the dermatologist that do
not show up because they were filled at the pharmacy next to his office.

The province's  electronic health record (EHR) is an online resource
that makes all your health records available to all health care
providers and includes the family doctor, nurses, specials, ER
clinicians. It apparently has all prescription information. I am not
sure if it is fully up and running.

My doctor is owned by my local hospital; they have a system that
makes all my health records (includding prescriptions) available to
anybody in that system, including me.  Except, for some reason, I
can't look at image files (including the X-rays and CT scans they
took when I fell down the stairs, which I would like to see).

The "concussion clinic" they sent me to uses a different system.
Of frickin' course.
