Can one create a script to determine the filepath of a PDF based on information entered into a form?

Question

I work for the IT department for a medical center and we are creating signable PDF forms so that our center can move toward a paperless system.  The center uses a program to organize all of the PDF forms once they are signed, but we are wanting to make everything structured to work seamlessly with this program.  What we need to do this is that when a form is signed by a patient, a script within the PDF saves the file to a specific folder and then creates the file name based on the patient's idnumber, date of birth, and the name of the procedure the form was for (which is in the form as a drop down list).  I haven't been able to find anything on how to do anything like this, so any help will be greatly appreciated.

It has been a while since I have posted here because I have been looking into doing this using a plugin, since Actions can't be run automatically by signing or any other form trigger.  I have recently come accross folder level javascripts, though and am wondering if you guys think that would work, and if so, how could I do it?  I'm reading through a post here: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-save-pdf-acrobat-javascript and it seems to be really close to what I need, it just isn't quite there.  My code now looks like the following, (many thanks to you guys, by the way):
//Create the file name from text fields in the form
     //Credit to Gilad D for the first part of this script.
     var myFileName = this.getField("PATIENT_ID").valueAsString + "#" + this.getField("PATIENT_DOB_3").valueAsString + "#C#" + this.getField("PROCEDURE_NAME").valueAsString;
     //Save the file
     this.saveAs("/C/Users/ahill.CNC/Desktop/PDF test save/" + myFileName + ".pdf");
From what I am understanding, with a folder level script, I can make a script and save it to a specific folder that Acrobat can access and I should be able to call that script from within the form.  I mainly need to know how to call the script and if there are any changes to the above script that need to be made to make it work as a folder level script, I need to know how to do that.  I'm going to continue reading up on this, but If you happen to know how to do it and are able to help me, it would be greatly appreciated.  Again, thank you guys for all the help.
