ok, this is me asking for some help. I am being tasked to come up with a name for a medical program. This medical program is being used to have all the medical files of patients from the hospital on file as opposed to always in a physical folder. Such as using a laptop or computer in the office to load up the patients' file.
I am being tasked to come up with a name for it, with there being a reward for the person who comes up with the best one. It's a good reward too, hence my bother to ask the help of you fine folks!
It's a hospital based in Vermont. Any creative input would be vastly appreciated.

All I can think of right now.
Anyway, these sorts of things normally have dull names like PatientConnect or whatever, don't they? (I made that up, but look! It already exists.) I guess if they're running a competition they're after something cleverer, so a nifty acronym indeed probably is in order.

Remember, when said as the full name instead of the acronym it's perfectly normal to add words such as "and" in between the words that are covered by the acronym.
For real help, though, while I don't have a specific suggestion you might look for medical terms, internal organs, or the like which are short and easy to spell that you can turn into an acronym.
That suggests that at one point or another the patient was in more than one piece.

Electronic Record Retrieval Service- ERRS not as good as HELPR, but still, a name, and obvious.
Automated Patient History Archive- APHA kinda catchy...
EMRS

That sounds perfect to me.

Taking approach (a), just take any old noun and throw words around it. "Lotus Records" (everyone will call it Lotus). Words with no negative connotations are best here, like: "Daisy", "Venus", "Robin", "Eagle", "Cloud", "Blue", etc. "EAGLE Patient Record Management" could be the official name, everyone will call it Eagle, but Eagle doesn't have to stand for anything.
Taking approach (b), some very simple acronym might work. e-PID (Patient Information Database), etc.
I would go down one of those two paths.
Automatic Information Database System
Medical Record Secure Access
Clinical Aid for Notekeeping Caretakers in Emergency Response
Our advice isn't fake, those would be awesome names.
