I don't know if there are some EMR exemptions/waviers for psychiatric hospitals or not. I recently had a relative re-enter a private psychiatric facility, and they also had no record of previous admissions.
As a healthcare provider working in critical care I am a bit gobsmacked. I can easily go back 5-10 years on most of my patients if I have a justified medical need to do so, so I am not certain why psychiatric facilities are not on-board with tracking patient history.
